Solid from Normann Copenhagen

Solid is a minimalist coffee table made from natural, solid materials that unite Scandinavian craftsmanship with the basic principles of Japanese architecture. The result is a timeless and sturdy coffee table with a simple design stripped of unnecessary details.

Designed in 2013, the designer, Lars Beller Fjetland, has based Solid’s design on a more than 1,000-yearold Japanese structure called Torii. Toriis were originally the entrances to Shinto temples, which were used for worship and storage of sacred objects. The reference is evident in the choice of materials that are in tune with the original wood and stone used for the Torii gates, but with a Scandinavian twist.

The Solid table consists of a base of wood and a marble tabletop and is simple and intuitive to assemble without the use of screws or glue. The parts lock together under the weight of the tabletop, forming a sturdy coffee table with a harmonious and luxurious look.

Lars Beller Fjetland says: ”My basic philosophy as a designer is to design furniture that achieves a sense of both timelessness and durability. With its simple appearance, clean lines and natural materials Solid is a good example of a product that I think, and hope will last for generations.” With the two new variants, the designer’s vision for the design of the Solid Table is honored and continued.

2023 Normann Copenhagen launches two new additions to the Solid Table collection. The latest additions of the popular design are crafted in black-stained ash and a black marble tabletop or brown-stained ash and a brown marble tabletop. With their elegant natural materials, these two new designers offer a harmonious expression that will fit seamlessly into any space, residential or commercial alike.
