Josei

DESCRIPTION

Strong character,  soft contours.

Josei is an elegant design table that is perfectly suited to classic interiors, but also demonstrates its strength as a minimalistic object in modern surroundings.

The underlying design of this table has been inspired by the Japanese wood joints found in shrines and temples. The Josei is characterised by its self-supporting construction. All binding elements are invisible due to the use of unique, modern connection techniques.

Solid wood

Wood is a beautifully lively natural product. Differences in color, drawing and structure give wood character. It is a lively and ‘warm’ material that becomes more beautiful with age. Our tables are finished with a very high quality 2-component lacquer.

Carbon oak
Walnut

General

Solid wood ‘warps’. This means humidity and temperature can causes changes to take place in the size and shape of the material. ‘Warping’ can be reduced by making sure that the room temperature remains between 15°C and 24°C and humidity remains between 45% and 60%. So do not place your table too close to a heat source (stove, fireplace, radiator, etc.).

Light and air can cause discolouration in wood. Excessive discolouration can mainly be attributed to strong sunlight. It is thus best to place your table so that it is not exposed to too much sunlight.
Our tables are finished with a high-quality matt lacquer which is very strong. However, there are certain things you can do yourself to keep your table beautiful.

When your table has just been varnished, it will take 2 weeks until it is fully cured. So in the 1st period you have to be a little careful. Therefore avoid heavy loads, heat and excess moisture.
Important tips for wooden products with a matt lacquered finish:

• For daily maintenance, the table can simply be wiped with a soft, dry cloth
• Make sure that spilled liquids are cleaned immediately using a soft, clean and slightly moist cloth
• Do not use caustic products
• Use a coaster to prevent water rings. It is also recommended to use coasters for hot objects, best to always use a placemat or tablecloth to avoid scratches and stains.
• Prevent scratching of abrasive surfaces by using felt pads
• It is better not to use abrasives, rough sponges or cleaning equipment, as this will scratch the table top.

Although lacquer is more resistant to moisture than oil, you can expect stains and circles if water or liquid remains on for a long time. Especially moisture that cannot evaporate because it is covered or locked up, will eventually affect the lacquer. So be careful with wet cloths, cups, vases or dishes.

About the
Josei table.

The underlying design of the Josei table can be traced back to the Japanese wood joints found in shrines and temples. It is also a literal Japanese translation of the word ‘feminine’. That is why the Josei is also characterised by soft contours and feminine finesse.  

The longer that one spends examining the table, the more details catch one’s attention. Every detail in the Joesi has been carefully considered: from the almost invisible connections to the distinctive leached oak cross-connections.  

The table’s impressive – for the trained eye – structural elements have been incorporated in a very subtle and almost invisible manner. The middle beam, which in fact divides the two solid sheets of wood, and the braces that hold the foot together, helps to create a strong self-supporting structure that has a unique minimalistic character.  

The underlying design of the Josei has also been used for a similar ‘masculine’ design called Otoko. Both tables are suitable for a variety of purposes: dining, work or conferences. They are perfect for (spacious) homes as well as work environments.
