Michael Young and the Coalesse Design Group reunited to take another form (and material) into surprising new territory. After designing the iconic LessThanFive chair, the team then studied how and why we use tables. While the LessThanFive chairs convey ‘lightness’ and mobility, a strong, heavy table could be juxtaposed as the foundation that anchors a room.

That pairing led to the exploration of cast iron for its natural weight and stability. Yet common to both carbon fiber and cast iron — endless craft-ability, into any form imaginable.

Partners in craft and pioneers in design, the pairing of table and chairs has never been more enlightened — with less.
