Created by Norwegian designer Martin Solem for HAY, Kofi is a range of elegant and versatile glass-topped coffee tables. Based on the desire to make a clean and functional table with an eco-friendly profile, the Kofi series is developed using clever and efficient production methods with a flat-pack design. The clean simplicity of the dimensions and proportions is highlighted by the close attention to detail, resulting in uncluttered aesthetics with distinct lines and a timeless quality. Featuring a solid oak or walnut frame in FSC-certified wood with a water-based lacquer, the top is made of plain or reeded glass, which has a distinctively ribbed structure. The table comes in different sizes with different colour frame options and glass in clear or coloured variants. The numerous design combinations makes Kofi suitable for a wide variety of home or corporate settings, from living rooms and halls to receptions and meeting rooms.
