The JARI table in solid ash or oak comes in two subtle, asymmetric, organic shapes. The table top shape optimizes the volume of the design by reducing its ends and shifting the balance towards the center for a more intimate shared dining experience and a sense of social presence. Each table features deep, double-rounded soft edges, offering a floating appearance and representing a tactile connection to nature.
Named after a Japanese word meaning ‘pebbles’ – JARI draws inspiration from natural beach stones that have been slowly rounded by lapping waves over centuries. Like a Japanese Zen garden, JARI seeks to reflect a simplified version of nature and create space for a sense of calmness and timelessness.
The JARI Collection was initially developed for INUA in Tokyo, the sister restaurant to Noma.
