As with other furniture pieces designed by Tenreiro, this light coffee table presents amazing fittings and very well-constructed parts.
Tenreiro came to see the often heavy, overstuffed pieces that dominated the market as incompatible with a tropical country like Brazil. So instead, he promoted formally light furniture, as described in his own words: "Lightness, which has nothing to do with the weight per se, but with grace and functionality in space."
