Side Table MUECKE Light Oak KNOLL

Designed by Jonathan Muecke for Knoll, the light oak Muecke Side Table is a piece that raises the same question as the entire collection of which it is part: what does wood look like when you decide to hide nothing from it? Its rounded trunnions, which intersect on neighboring planes and fit together where they meet, repeat with absolute coherence this system of distinctive junctions that is the intellectual and visual signature of the entire Muecke Wood collection, making each point of contact a statement as much as a constructive solution. In its light oak finish, it deploys a natural and soothing luminosity that is perhaps the most direct of the three finishes available, the one that lets the wood express itself with the least intermediary, revealing in all their frankness the beauty of the end yarn, the regularity of the grain and the clarity of a material that Muecke has always refused to disguise. Also just slipped in the corner of an armchair or a sofa, placed alone in a passageway as a sculptural object in its own right, it integrates with special obviousness into Scandinavian or Japanese interiors that cultivate natural light and the sobriety of materials. Associated with the Fauteuil and the Pouf Muecke, it completes a set of rare coherence, where each piece speaks the same language with the same quiet conviction.
