"Mao" Coffee table

There are many legends surrounding the origin of tea, one of which states that tea tree leaves were detached to fall into the hot water of the Emperor of China. For millennia, tea has been consumed in China and is surrounded by many ceremonies. Equipped with a drawer, the MAO square coffee table is both decorative and functional. This small piece of furniture takes us straight to the China of yesteryear. Decorated with a few cushions on the floor and topped with a teapot and a cup of tea, each day is a new journey through time and continents. This coffee table will bring together family and friends for special moments.

Chinese cabinetmakers mainly use elm in their furniture design. More resistant and more flexible than oak, elm is a firm wood, quite hard and with a magnificent veal. The "painted leather" finish is a traditional Chinese technique which consists of covering the furniture with bonded leather ranging from red to burgundy depending on the exposure and the finish of the varnish and painting different patterns on it. The latter mainly represent scenes from ancient times, flowers and animals. The interiors are covered with reproductions of lunar calendars. The rendering of this furniture is unique both visually and in terms of touch.
