The Orion Tables for Bonaldo express a striking harmony between heritage and innovation. Their defining feature—layered, concentric steel rings—evokes the spirit of mid-century modern design, recalling the clarity and geometry prized by that era. At the same time, these forms pay subtle tribute to the woven rattan furniture traditions of Southeast Asia, where graceful circular patterns have long graced both homes and gathering spaces.

What sets Orion apart is its advanced realization: instead of natural rattan, the rings are formed from precision-bent steel using state-of-the-art robotic machinery. This approach elevates the familiar rhythm of rattan weaving into a futuristic language, combining the warm resonance of history with the technical sophistication of contemporary manufacturing. The smooth glass tabletop accentuates the sculptural base, allowing the play of light and shadow to further enhance its architectural foundation.

In bringing together traditional inspiration and modern technology, Orion stands as a fusion of past and future—rooted in the cultural legacy of Southeast Asian artisanship yet unmistakably part of today’s design evolution. The piece is both a tribute and a forward-looking statement, perfectly at home in refined interiors seeking a narrative of progress and connection.
