THE ASANA
​
the warrior pose translated into form
​
designer: Farzin Adenwalla
 
 
Asana derived from the Sanskrit word = to sit down.
​
The Asana table is inspired by the art of Yoga and the physicality of the human body.
​
Yoga combines strength, beauty and agility, and the Asana table became a starting point to study how certain yoga postures can impact the way an object is seen and manipulated.
​
This particular table looked at the Warrior pose, which articulates a strong sense of form. The aim was to create a piece that was light, yet strong graphically strong in its composition. Every elevation of the table creates a dynamic view point, from the cantilevered profile to the strong right angles.
​
When it came to material use, the idea was to capture a sense of duality. By combining mild steel with a slim glass lacquered top a synthesis of delicate and solid comes to life. 
​
This table works for residential and commercial spaces, adding a focal point and a sense of drama to any surrounding.
