Kanyon: A Sculptural Coffee Table Collection

An Authentic Blend of Functionality and Minimalism

Kanyon, designed by Fulden Topaloglu, is an authentic coffee table series that combines functionality and sculptural posture with simplicity, beautiful materials, and skilled craftsmanship. Inspired by the topographic beauty of canyon structures, the design language of Kanyon is minimal and unique. The collection offers customization options in shapes, veneers, colors, and dimensions, allowing it to blend seamlessly with different interiors while making a statement as an artful centerpiece.

What sets Kanyon apart is its attention to detail and the use of high-quality materials. Skilled wood and marble craftsmen bring this design to life by combining solid wood, marble, and high-quality wood veneers. The U profiled book storage section, as well as the outer frame of the table tops, are made of solid wood, while the rest is made of thick, natural wood veneers over MDF panels. This combination of materials ensures both durability and aesthetic appeal.

The functionality of Kanyon is evident in its design. The U profiled gap between different table surfaces serves as a convenient and aesthetic solution to store books and magazines. The 2-level tabletop design allows users to arrange objects based on use, ease of access, or aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, Kanyon can be customized according to user needs and desires, with options for veneers, dimensions, and different marble tops. This versatility makes Kanyon highly adjustable to the requirements of different spaces.

The Kanyon coffee table collection was developed through extensive research and collaboration with local craftsmen. Numerous sketches and cardboard models were created to optimize the overall dimensions and to achieve the desired visual effect. The challenge of balancing production costs with high-quality craftsmanship was overcome by combining solid wood with natural wood veneer over fiberboard panels, resulting in a design that is both cost-effective and visually appealing.

Since its introduction in October 2020, Kanyon has garnered recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2022. This prestigious award recognizes designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to improvements in quality of life.

With its unique blend of functionality, minimalism, and natural materials, Kanyon stands as a testament to the beauty and artistry that can be achieved in furniture design. Whether as a functional centerpiece or an artful statement, Kanyon brings the poetry of canyons into the realm of everyday living.
