Limen Oval

A table that embodies transition – between volume and void, support and stillness.

Limen Oval is the larger counterpart to the original side table. Its oval tabletop extends the gesture of openness — a form that invites gathering, conversation, and quiet presence. The underlying principle remains the same: structure and surface are not separate elements, but interwoven parts of a whole.

The name Limen, drawn from Latin, means threshold. A space in between. A moment of becoming. In this table, that threshold is rendered visible: the legs are formed through absence — sculpted arcs that emerge from the table’s mass and define its character. Light moves through them, drawing attention to the balance between weight and openness.

The table rests with calm certainty. Its proportions are generous yet measured. The grain of the solid oak follows the curve of the surface and legs alike, reinforcing the continuity of the piece. Nothing feels ornamental — everything is resolved.

Limen Oval is not simply a larger version. It carries its own spatial presence: architectural, grounded, yet gentle. A centrepiece in quiet rooms.

Hidden Fortress

Hidden Fortress is a practice for interior architecture and furniture design. We create spaces and objects shaped by natural materials, tactile presence and a quiet sense of well-being.
