District Eight Stilt Round Coffee Table

The Stilt table is structurally refined yet also accentuated by the pleasing charms of its materials. Minimal in form, it  draws its inspiration from the culture of Vietnam, highlighting its tradition of craftsmanship while maintaining an ongoing dialogue with the manufacturing culture of contemporary European furniture.

The wood is inspired by traditional Asian wooden constructions. However, the metal completes the construction, playing an essential role in stabilizing the structure while lightening the silhouette. As much as the wood is generous and round, as much the metal is its exact opposite.

The logs with perfect verticality are indeed connected to each other thanks to a branched metal structure through recessed joints of apparent simplicity and immediate reading but made with cutlery precision and a mechanical design engineered to the smallest details.

STILT is the result of a quest for harmony in contrast. 

Designed by Toan Nguyen.

About the designer:

Graduating from the ENSCI (Paris) in 1995, Toan Nguyen pursued his training in Barcelona with Alberto Lievore. A couple of years after moving to Milan in 1996, he collaborated with Antonio Citterio for a decade. As Head of the Design Department and Partner, he co-signed numerous collections for leading design companies worldwide.

In 2009 he founded his own studio in Milan, subsequently embarking on a series of successful collaborations with several major brands in high-quality industry and fine craftmanship in Europe, North America, and Asia, on furniture, lighting, ceramics, as well as on technological products. 

For Toan Nguyen design is a discipline intimately bound up with the object, in the traditional sense of the term. Priority is given to physical relationships with users. Displaying an immediate sense of meaningful utilization, precedence is accorded to intelligible forms and optimized manufacturing processes, without, however, ever neglecting the sensuality of materials and the emotional impact of the object. 

Toan Nguyen's creative individuality has been acknowledged by flagship contemporary design brands such as Brown Jordan, Bugatti Home, Busnelli, Coalesse, Dedon, District Eight, Fendi Casa, Laufen, Lema, RH, Rolf Benz, Studio TK, Spaghetti Wall, Teknion, Vibia, Viccarbe, Walter Knoll, Wendelbo, among others, a substantial number of whose creations have been awarded prestigious international prizes.
