Bordeira coffee table by Rute Martins for Greenapple

Dezeen Showroom: Portuguese furniture brand Greenapple sought to evoke the Algarve coast with the Bordeira coffee table, designed by co-founder Rute Martins.

The organic form of the Bordeira coffee table was informed by the pristine beach in southern Portugal from which it takes its name.

"Heading south from the villages of Comporta and Melides, you encounter one of the last untouched areas of the Atlantic Coast, where time seems to stand still, and natural beauty prevails," said Greenapple.

"This immaculate landscape is the inspiration behind the Bordeira coffee table, whose sweeping curves reflect ocean meeting the land in perfect harmony, creating a modern piece that conveys true freedom of movement."

Like all Greenapple products, the table is fully customisable in size and finish, with each piece handmade by artisans in the brand's workshop just outside Lisbon.

The typical version has legs and a table base made from oak, with brass and onyx on the tabletop.

No glue or welding is used in the table's assembly, meaning the components can be easily taken apart for recycling at the end of its life.
