Chamfer 110 Coffee Table
Description
In solid oak with a hand-cut veneer top, designer Mattias Stenberg's coffee table employs precision joinery that adds subtle intrigue to its clean lines. Chamfer is named for the strikingly cutaway technique that makes for a symmetrical sloping edge between right-angled faces of the piece. The modernist table with its full-length shelf underneath is finished in a white stain and lacquer and comes with adjustable feet for a faultlessly level expression.

“Small details are more important in simple minimalist design, because you see every line,” says Sandra Adrian Asplund, creative director at the eponymous Stockholm-based furniture brand. The brothers Asplund—Michael, an art dealer, and Thomas, a banker—originally teamed up to open a gallery that treated furnishings as works of fine art. When their vision took off, Sandra joined the team as creative head (and later spouse of Thomas) to develop a collection in a style they dub “Friendly Minimalism” that has grown into an internationally acclaimed design leader.
A warmer take on iconic Swedish minimalism, the Asplund look is similarly grounded in functionality and and hews to an ethos of sustainably. “Natural materials often require a bit of love and care, but in return, they age beautifully and last a lifetime,” says Sandra. Carefully produced in Sweden with environmentally friendly processes and a large measure of hand craftsmanship, Asplund goods are contemporary heirlooms, she says. “Unless every inch is perfect, it is not good enough.”
