DARRAN Furniture is proud to announce the debut of the Kousa occasional table collection, an elevated and sophisticated collaboration with renowned designer David Mocarski, founder of Arkkit Forms Design and Chairman of Spatial Experience Design ArtCenter College of Design.
Inspired by the layering of soft, organic forms, the Kousa collection of tables is designed to move with the flow of a space. Each piece shifts, slides, and layers with ease, adapting to gatherings, collaboration, or quiet moments. With varied heights and interchangeable forms, Kousa creates a subtle rhythm across a room, offering versatile configurations that feel intuitive and effortless.
“I wanted the Kousa table collection to be about the art of arranging. The idea that tables have to be more flexible to address the everchanging needs of our day-to-day spaces, Kousa is an intersection of soft flowing shapes, offered in a variety of heights, to address a wide range of use. A table for gathering needs to have a welcoming nature.” – David Mocarski
The Intersection of Nature and Architecture
Designed by David Mocarski, the Kousa collection is characterized by its signature softened square and rectangular tops and clean, sculptural lines that flow into the bases. The collection emphasizes the beauty of natural materials while maintaining a minimalist silhouette that complements environments and augments the cultural needs within a workplace.
"With Kousa, we wanted to explore the architectural balance between lightness and stability," says Matthew Agostinelli, Creative Director of DARRAN. "The design is meant to feel quiet, yet present and create archipelagos that invite people to gather and connect and provide a natural tactile experience.”
Key Features of the Kousa Collection
The collection is engineered for versatility, offering a wide range of aesthetic possibilities through material selections, layering, and complementary sizes:
• Diverse Material Palette: Available in a variety of wood species, high-pressure laminates, Fenix laminates, and paint colors.
• Scalable Geometry: The collection includes coffee tables, side tables, and laptop-height surfaces to accommodate a range of postures and tasks.
• Artisanal Craftsmanship: Each piece reflects DARRAN’s heritage of hand-finished quality, ensuring durability in high-traffic commercial spaces while maintaining a high level of design acuity.
• Sustainable Design: In alignment with DARRAN’s environmental initiatives, the Kousa collection utilizes responsibly sourced materials and low-VOC finishes.
Elevating the Collaborative Landscape
As the modern workplace shifts toward design inclusivity—blending the accessibility found in the home with the performance needed in workplace settings—The Kousa Collection provides the perfect accent. Its soft, rounded edges and warm material options reduce the visual "hardness" of clinical office settings, fostering a more relaxed and creative culture.
