Designer: Anki Gneib Mia CullinMandala Coffee Table
Mandala (2026) is a table designed based on experiments with sheets of paper. The tables are made by manually bending veneer and joining them together at a central node. The idea for Mandala came when Anki and Mia designed a wall installation with curved shapes of paper that created a soft relief on the wall. The word Mandala means circle or center in Sanskrit and is a universal symbol for wholeness and harmony, where everything revolves around the center point.

The leaves are made of veneer and can then be chosen between three variants: Outside/inside same wood type or stain. Outside wood/inside stain. Outside stain/inside wood. The center node is in the same design as the outside of the veneer. To reinforce the assembly between the leaves, there are two small metal rivets. For oak and ash, the surface treatment is brass and for standard stains, the surface treatment is antique brass. The glass top is 8 mm, available as clear glass or bronze-colored. The top lies loosely on the base.
Mandala has its own expression. It fits into environments where you really want to make an impression on the viewer.
