As a pioneer of the use of forged carbon fibre in the interior design market, Matthew Nunn Studio has developed the Luna Coffee Table using this exotic material as well as bronze to be a captivating retro-futurism piece that suits any interior.

The Luna derives its name from the beauty and wonder of the Cosmos and looks to evoke those feelings in its design. The bronze base is designed in homage to the elliptical orbits of so many celestial bodies, and the main structure embodies the feelings of wonder and awe in its ability to convey the essence of the challenging physics of the universe. From the gravity-defying tip to the asymmetric shape, the piece elicits a questioning of how it works and how its come to be.

Due to the detail in its engineering, concept, and craftsmanship, the piece can complement any design scheme despite its unorthodox material. There is an enticing beauty and familiarity in the piece which comes from the relationship between the materials; carbon, the fundamental building blocks of all life, and bronze with its traditional elegance and warmth. This is then placed in contrast with its shape and engineering, where the use of cantilevers as well as the carbon fibre’s inherent strength achieves an aesthetic previously not thought possible in a free-standing unfixed piece.
