ENGAWA Side Table by Carsten Gollnick for blomus

ENGAWA Side Table by Carsten Gollnick for blomus — A square solid-oak side table with an asymmetric base, in two heights and natural or black stained oak.

Part of ENGAWA, the FSC-certified oak furniture by Carsten Gollnick for the German design house blomus.

The Design Story

Gollnick designed the side tables to be shown together, so two heights overlap like the floors of a Japanese house. Gollnick named ENGAWA after the wooden veranda of a Japanese house: en means relation and gawa means side, the in-between space where inside meets outside. Each piece pairs an asymmetric base panel with a beveled top that flows into the legs.

Quietly asymmetric and made from solid oak, ENGAWA brings the stillness of a Japanese veranda indoors.

Why You’ll Love It

Group two sizes for a sculptural coffee table, or let one stand alone beside your favorite chair.

Made for Real Life

Clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and dry right away; use coasters under glasses and keep the oak away from direct heat. Indoor use only. The oak comes from FSC-certified forests, and the grain and tone vary from piece to piece. Pairs well with the ENGAWA veranda bench, SUKOYA bookcase and MERINO cashmere blend throw.

Why We Love It

ENGAWA shows its craft in the details: the soft bevel of the top, the way the panel meets the leg, the grain of solid oak. From a small town in Germany’s old steel region, the Blome family has gone from bicycle parts (1921) to metal gifts (1961) to the design label blomus (2000), still family-run in its fourth generation. LoftModern is an authorized blomus retailer.
