Reiko Kaneko who has been developing small design products for the giftware market since 2005, recently expanded their production to the furniture market which officially launched at this years Milan Furniture Fair. Among the new releases is the "Ovangkol" rectangular dining table that seemingly floats with its legs set in clear crystal resin. Skilled carpenters in London worked to retain the natural beauty of the wood used to make this weighty table top which is supported by tapering legs that really help break up the otherwise heavy look. Reiko Kaneko simultaneously released their lighting collection in Milan, and later this year plans on releasing an extensive ceramic and glassware collection for the first time at Pulse London.

Traditional furniture is always interesting as it has such a depth of design and detailing that are not found in other types of home furniture. The "Milan" dining table from Century Furniture caught my interest as it is a beautiful cross section of solid wood measuring 104 x 40 inches with a very unprocessed look. The natural element and graining is of course unique to each dining table which makes it a very special piece. I really like the light recessed base structure in bronze finished brass that allows the top to remain the main focal point while keeping the overall feel light and refreshing. See the entire collection of traditional home and office furniture from Century here.
