The tables are expressive in their restraint, complex in their simplicity. The inspiration comes from the legendary Japanese-American designer and woodworker George Nakashima.
About
Koku is a family of tables in solid oak and slender steel tubing, in which the designers from Norm Architects explore how both two fundamentally different materials and varying lines and geometric forms can be combined. A thin steel tube supports the tabletop at one end, in contrast to the thick oak slab that serves as support at the other — a quiet reflection on balance, expressed through two contrasting materials.

The designers / Norm Architects
Norm Architects are a Copenhagen-based design studio founded in 2008 by Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen and Kasper Rønn. Working across architecture, interiors, furniture and product design, the studio has become a defining voice in contemporary Scandinavian design.
The name Norm reflects their ambition to create design that supports the way we live — shaped by human behavior, tradition and context. Their philosophy is rooted in simplicity, natural materials and sensory awareness. Rather than minimalism as reduction alone, Norm Architects pursue atmosphere and balance. Their work is often described as “soft minimalism” — calm, tactile and deeply considered.
