leka

sidetable

 

LEKA is a two tiered side table designed to be a modern take on childhood playthings. With its playful, animal-like quality originally inspired by the traditional wooden rocking horse, Leka was created to inject a sense of wonder and curiosity towards everyday things through the subtle notion of nostalgia.

LEKA’s form takes inspiration from the wooden rocking horse; an iconic childhood plaything. Made entirely out of solid ashwood, LEKA features two exposed mortise and tenon joints on the hind legs of the table, as well as a lap joint on the front leg. The front leg extends up to support the top tier of the table, mimicking the neck and head of a rocking horse.

Ashwood, stained black.
