ROOTS TABLE
designer: Nelson de Araújo
Roots is a table with a sculptural form inspired by nature. Its rounded wooden top and distinctive metal base create an original, modern composition.
Table Roots, designed by Nelson de Araújo, draws inspiration from natural movement and organic shapes. Ocean waves, a flowing river, clouds, and the free-sprung roots of trees became the starting point for creating a piece of furniture with a sculptural character, combining expressive design with the simplicity of materials.
Wooden tabletop with a softly rounded outline It stands out for its fluid lines and delicately contoured edges. The natural wood grain emphasizes its individual character, while the wide surface provides a comfortable space for everyday gatherings at the table.
EXPAND DESCRIPTION
The most characteristic element of Roots is metal base composed of profiled surfaces, whose arrangement evokes the image of sprawling roots. Its dynamic geometry contrasts with the smooth lines of the countertop, lending the entire structure clarity and visual balance.
In the Roots project wood and metal they retain their distinct identity. In line with the designer's philosophy, their natural origins, structure, and properties are an essential part of the design. This makes the table not only a functional centerpiece of the dining room, but also a powerful architectural accent in the interior.
Design Roots has been recognized in prestigious design competitions, winning three awards in 2023: ICONIC AWARDS 2023 – Winner, German Design Award 2023 – Special Mention and must-have 2023. These awards confirm the unique nature of the project and its importance in contemporary design.

DESIGNER
Nelson de Araújo
A Portuguese designer whose breakthrough came with a nearly year-long stay in Italy during his studies, and his direct contact with a design culture deeply rooted in everyday life. He grew up in a peaceful, seaside town, immersed in the rhythm of slow living, and it is this closeness to nature that continues to shape his pursuit of minimalism and balance.
For nobonobo, he designed the Margo sofa and armchair, as well as the Roots table, in which the combination of metal and wood reflects his pursuit of material honesty.
