Designed by Austrian trio EOOS for Carl Hansen & Søn, the Embrace Table E020 is a stylish reinterpretation of a furniture staple, created as part of the intelligent Embrace Series. Crafted from three components, the design has a wooden base, a steel wire structure and a round tabletop. The result is a distinctive, sculptural expression inspired by a kite blowing in the wind; with table legs that have been pulled to the center to maximize legroom, the piece provides optimal functionality. The tabletop is circular and designed to facilitate communication between people as the round shape and added legroom highlights social interaction. Contrasted by the lightness of the frame, the wooden tabletop seems to float on the stable frame and will merge seamlessly with the Embrace Chair and Embrace Armchair. Designed by EOOS, the Embrace Series unites the design trio’s innovative design approach with the elegant craftsmanship and heritage of Carl Hansen & Søn.
EOOS, a design collaborative established in Vienna in 1995 by Martin Bergmann (b. 1963), Gernot Bohmann (b. 1968), and Harald Gründl (b. 1967), was founded after the trio graduated from the Venetian University of Applied Arts.
Today, the internationally renowned collaborative approaches complex furniture, product and shop design challenges by examining past roots in a contemporary context. Called Poetical Analysis®, EOOS’s unique process focuses on myths, rituals and intuitive expressions, creating connections that extend beyond initial perceptions.
