The Swell Collection, in collaboration with Nienkamper, offers a series of occasional tables that transform any interior environment into a contemporary setting. The collection references aquatic life with its jellyfish-like forms and soft, fluid lines. 

Forward-thinking, amid the current climate crisis, these furniture pieces double as a reminder to pay attention to wildlife, particularly marine creatures. To arrive at the final design, the fluidity of water and aquatic life were studied. Through a meticulous, creative process, a unique tri-panel design base was drawn, which is echoed in the tops' silkscreened "inlay" pattern. Once visualized, the designers developed small maquettes of the collection using 3D printing technology to study the scale and proportions of the full-scale model. Before the scale model was manufactured, the team diligently reviewed all details, construction, and fastening methods, resulting in a product that met and surpassed the initial vision.

 Versatile, the Swell Collection is conveniently offered in three different heights (41 cm coffee table, 46 cm side table, 56 cm side table) and four different diameters (37 cm, 61 cm, 76 cm coffee table, 91 cm side table). The balanced tri-panel design is available in a variety of finishes from wood veneer, and Corian.

 Designed to create clarity in form with nuances inspired by the natural environment, The Swell Collection is perfect as stand-alone pieces of furniture or clustered together in groups. Highly functional, they easily fit in a variety of areas and applications. The crisp geometry and refined finishes present a stunning complement to any contemporary or classic interior, from private offices, lounges, and breakout areas to public spaces.
