NOOI Side Table
An Authorial Study in Organic Porosity, Shadow Play, and Hand-Woven Craft
Design Provenance: The Architecture of Light & Fiber
The Nooi Side Table brings a familiar material into a different setting. Created in collaboration with design studio ODA, it features a traditional woven rattan tempered glass tabletop framed in solid ash wood and supported by slender metal legs.
What makes Nooi interesting is how the woven surface interacts with light. Rather than having a completely solid top, the natural cane webbing allows light to pass through its pattern, casting delicate shadows onto the floor. This gives the table a different appearance throughout the day, especially when placed near a window.
Its softly rounded square shape provides space for everyday essentials, while the slim metal legs keep the design visually light. The combination of natural rattan, timber and metal gives Nooi a distinctive character without making the design feel complicated.
Designed in collaboration with ODA and made to order in Malaysia by NICCHRIS, the Nooi Side Table brings traditional rattan craftsmanship into contemporary furniture.
Artisanal Cane Tension
Individually selected rattan mesh hand-fitted with calibrated tension into the solid timber rebate, creating tactile resilience that softens hard interior architecture.
Sculptured Timber Silhouette
Continuous curved transitions and radiused corners hand-smoothed to eliminate harsh edges, highlighting honest wood grain cascades along the legs.
The ODA Studio Philosophy
This designer release is crafted for collectors and architects who value pieces with emotional resonance. As an artistic accent, Nooi matures gracefully over time its authentic cane and ash timber taking on a warm natural patina that deepens with every year of living use.
