Collect Coffee Table

The Collect Coffee Table, designed by renowned Swedish architect Jonas Wagell for Wendelbo, achieves that rare balance of formal elegance and practical functionality through its thoughtfully calibrated proportions and material harmony. This sophisticated table transforms the everyday centerpiece of living spaces into a multi-dimensional design statement with integrated storage that celebrates both form and function.

What distinguishes the Collect from conventional coffee tables is its ingenious shelving system beneath the striking marble surface. Framed by distinctive borders that create a contained display area, this lower tier offers valuable storage space that eliminates coffee table clutter while providing a curated canvas for displaying design objects, art books, or everyday essentials. This functional innovation transforms the typically underutilized space beneath a coffee table into an intentional design feature.

The material composition creates a compelling sensory dialogue between elements. The tabletop in rich brown Emperador marble introduces organic patterning and tactile luxury, while the FSC-certified solid oak and veneer base grounds the piece with natural warmth. The visible wood grain and meticulous staining process highlight Wendelbo's commitment to craftsmanship and material integrity. This thoughtful pairing creates a sophisticated table that complements both contemporary and transitional interiors with equal refinement.

Wagell's architectural background is evident in how the Collect balances visual weight—the substantial marble surface appears to float above the wooden framework, creating a sense of lightness despite the table's robust construction. This delicate equilibrium between materials exemplifies Wendelbo's design philosophy of creating furniture with presence that never overwhelms its surroundings.

Whether anchoring a formal living room, providing functional surface space in a media area, or serving as a sophisticated focal point in executive office settings, the Collect Coffee Table brings Scandinavian ingenuity to everyday living through its perfect synthesis of elegant aesthetics and practical utility.
