Tabloid desk by Blu Dot

Dezeen Showroom: created by US brand Blu Dot, the Tabloid desk is designed to bring a pop of colour and a cosy feeling into any work environment.

"With Tabloid, we set out to design a desk with useful storage that could live comfortably both at home or in an office," said Blu Dot.

The Tabloid desk's Forbo linoleum top is an opportunity to add colour

The desk features a wood frame topped with Forbo linoleum, which Blu Dot chose to bring warmth and an opportunity for colour. The powder-coated steel legs are colour matched to the tabletop.

A wraparound gallery creates a feeling of cosiness and privacy for the user, while the slim steel legs make the piece look light and suspended in space.

A cable management space at the top of the desk hides power cords out of sight

There is substantial space for storage, including a covered cord management nook on the back edge of the tabletop, and two drawers with metal slides.

Tabloid is available in three colour combinations including a black tabletop with walnut wood veneer, a navy green tabletop with white oak veneer, and a putty grey tabletop with white oak veneer.

Big Sur Low coffee table by Simon Klenell and Kristoffer Sundin for Fogia

Dezeen Showroom: glass artist Simon Klenell and carpenter Kristoffer Sundin aimed to combine their preferred materials to striking effect when designing the Big Sur Low coffee table for Fogia.

Described by Fogia as "confident and elegant", the Big Sur Low table has a thin tinted glass top sitting on smooth wooden legs.

The Big Sur Low coffee table contrasts a glass top with wooden legs

The furniture piece is named after the Big Sur area of California, which is characterised by the meeting of rocky cliffs and blue ocean.

Similarly, the table combines wood and glass to create an intriguing interplay of colours and textures, while its transparent top creates a sense of lightness that belies its generous size.

It is the result of a collaboration between glass artist Simon Klenell and carpenter Kristoffer Sundin

"The beauty of Big Sur Low is the exciting contrast of glass meeting wood, and how the transparency of the glass allows the table to come alive by its surroundings," said Klenell and Sundin.

Big Sur Low's glass top is available in a choice of four colours – transparent, green, brown or anthracite. The legs come in Fogia's standard oak finishes of oiled, lacquered, light, wenge, smoked oak, black, grey, white, dark blue and dark green.

Hoard Storage Tables by Blu Dot

*Dezeen Showroom: * furniture brand Blu Dot has created Hoard Storage Tables, featuring natural wood grain and biomorphic outlines.

The tables come in three sizes low, medium and tall, and can be used alone as an end table, or in a cluster of varying sizes.

The three sizes of Hoard Storage Tables can be used individually or in combination

The table features a tactile, beveled-edge lid that lifts off completely to reveal a hollow interior for storage. The base is padded with felt to make it easy on flooring.

"The design inspiration came from an exploration of irregular tessellating shapes, while the final form is soft it is still mathematically derived, creating a nice balance between nature and the human touch" explained Blu Dot.

The piece comes in two finish options, black and natural wood

The tables are made from solid acacia wood and come in natural wood or black finish options.

Moci dining table by Moa Sjöberg for Asplund

Dezeen Showroom: Swedish brand Asplund has launched the Moci dining table by Moa Sjöberg, a designer described as having "a true minimalist way of thinking".

The Moci dining or meeting table has an oak veneer top on solid oak legs and is distinguished by its elegantly rounded edges.

Moci was awarded furniture of the year in RUM Magazine's Swedish Design Awards 2022, which commended the table's balancing of the straight and the curvy, the firm and the soft, and the light versus the bold.

The table is available in two sizes, with lengths of 240 or 280 centimetres.

The design is said to feel at once familiar and fresh

Sjöberg is a recent design graduate discovered by Asplund while she was still at the Carl Malmsten Furniture School, and Moci is developed from one of her final student projects.

"We are always looking for products with the aesthetics and utility that we cannot find on the market but that feel familiar and welcoming," said Asplund creative director Sandra Adrian.

Koster outdoor furniture by Studio Norrlandet for Skargaarden

Dezeen Showroom: Studio Norrlandet has designed Skargaarden's Koster collection of outdoor chairs and tables to withstand even the most extreme weather conditions.

With Koster, Studio Norrlandet wanted to produce a set of outdoor furniture that would pass the most stringent load and durability tests – while looking like something that founders Jari and Anna Visuri would want in their own garden.

The Koster collection is designed to withstand extreme weather

Among other things, the furniture was tested to see if it could withstand high winds on a skyscraper roof without blowing away.

"We were looking for a comfy, uncomplicated, beautiful and simple design," said Jari Visuri, who is also founder and CEO of Skargaarden. "Chairs that are easy to sit in, even when you have a lot of chairs close together around the table."

The collection's chairs and tables are made of teak wood and UV-resistant rope

The resulting Koster collection incorporates a chair, bar stool and tables in three sizes, all made of teak wood with UV-resistant rope seats and backrests.

The pieces have a Swedish sensibility, which extends across all Skargaarden products, and can be left outdoors year-round.
