KORENTO Table

KORENTO’s design was given the highest award for “crafting ingenuity and potential” at IFDA 2017, and is beloved among those who desire compact pieces that exude high quality craftsmanship. This solid wood table is made with rounded edges, making it safe for an environment with small children, and a smooth form that gives a soft impression. It is designed to pair perfectly with the smooth, curved lines of the series’ armchairs & side chairs, and is available in 4 different sizes to suit a wide variety of situations with ease.

The table is constructed using solid Japanese Oak. Its elegant, flawless wood grain makes it easy to pair well with any kind of furniture. The solid wood top, rich in character, can be enjoyed for years to come, expressing beautiful and meaningful changes with age. Choose from polyurethane or oil finish. Oil is recommended for those who wish to enjoy natural texture characteristics and can do routine maintenance. Polyurethane provides more resilience from spills and sunlight.

Mikko Halonen
Mikko Halonen

Born in Oulu, Finland in 1976. In 2001, Halonen graduated from Lahti University of Applied Sciences, and began freelance design work in 2002. He completed his studies at Aalto University in 2010, where he had studied the field of furniture design and architecture. He has worked with various companies in Japan and Europe.

"In my work, I always enjoy challenges of finding new solutions to a wide variety of design problems ranging from small structural details to spatial design. The shape of my design sometimes develops intuitively due to the nature of the material, which is true especially when I work with wood which is my favorite material. Modern technology and new manufacturing techniques, woodwork techniques, and skilled manufacturers have created new possibilities for the design of wooden stuff. I’m still learning and working on wood, which is an exciting and challenging project that will last a lifetime because wood is a natural material with unique characteristics. Wood work always demands me a process of trial and error and teaches me something new every time.

"In my opinion it is important for a designer to keep an open mind and to be willing to listen to the views of other professionals involved in a design project. I think a designer’s job is to gather and combine all the relevant information to be used as a basis for an optimally durable, sensible, functional, and aesthetically pleasing design. Whenever I create something new, I try to take materials, ergonomics, and ecological perspectives into consideration at an early stage and to construct a functional design based on these principles. A product which is beautiful, well-crafted, well-designed, and made in a sustainable way will have a longer life. After all, this should be everyone's concern in this day and age."
