The traditional Japanese art form of origami was the creative starting point for German designer Robin Scholtysik when he designed his new side table for blomus, called Oru. Based on the precise folding of delicate paper figures, the table consists of thin, powder-coated steel sheets that - when put together - create a three-dimensional shape, while cut-out joints reveal important small details such as opposing radii and delicately curved interfaces. Oru's construction is as smart and simple as its design. The table can be assembled without tools, and its modest weight adds to its portability, making it fit for almost any corner of the modern home – be it as a contemporary bedside table or as a simple coffee table by the sofa.
