Abundant Style: Doppio Coffee Table by Wael Farran Studio
A multiplier signifying double in Italian, Doppio is all about the abundance around us that we take for granted because it was always there and in plenty. This coffee table set is a reminder to appreciate and embrace this abundance. The unique base begins with flattened steel feet that twist and go up, come together, then separate into a veneer wooden round top. The design reminds us to take another look at what we have, embrace it and use it, instead of looking for the same thing in a different form.
