The second-hand Tibbo coffee table by Dedon, designed by the British duo Barber & Osgerby, embodies a contemporary and sensual vision of solid teak furniture. As Dedon’s first collection made entirely from this noble material, the Tibbo marks a decisive milestone for the brand: the convergence of the architectural rigour of British design with the organic warmth of the world’s most precious wood. Barber & Osgerby drew their inspiration directly from the material itself. “The beauty of turned teak has an unrivalled tactile quality,” they explain. “Due to its oily nature, the wood is particularly soft to the touch, so we wanted to create furniture that accentuates these properties.” With a top and base made from solid teak sourced from sustainable plantations, the Tibbo combines visual lightness with exemplary strength. Indoors, it retains its warm, golden hue. When exposed to the elements, it naturally develops a silvery patina which, according to its designers, “adds a new layer of quality to the design”. The Tibbo coffee table is characterised by architectural precision in its proportions and construction, tempered by the natural richness of the wood. Its sleek silhouette, with soft lines and balanced proportions, fits just as well into a contemporary interior as it does in a well-appointed outdoor space, such as a terrace, garden, loggia or patio.
