An adaptation of traditional wooden lacquer trays, these stylish looking tables are multifunctional as sofa tables or as side tables.
The idea is inspired by objects that are simple and has multiple applications, and yet were not burdens on the planet. The shape of the mango table is derived from traditional kneading bowls that used to be lacquered in bright red, and were found extensively across south of India.
The table has a top made from the wood of a fruit tree. It is grown and tended for, and once the productive life of the tree is over, it is cut down and another one is planted. Incidentally, mango, as a fruit is widely consumed across the country makes the wood is plentiful. It is turned manually on the lathe, showcasing the skill of the ‘kharaadi’ or the wood turning community, thereby supporting local skills. The legs are made of mild steel, machined out of rods. The finishing is done with lead free water based PU lacquers, thereby respecting the local environment.
