Subtle shapes of letters peek out from British designer Jasper Morrison's newly expanded T&O furniture collection for Japanese brand Maruni.
Morrison has added a pair of tables to the range, both featuring painted steel elements. They were revealed at Salone del Mobile in April.
His rectangular T&O table sits on red steel legs with circular bases, and a smaller circular table is supported by a similarly shaped metal stem.
"There's nothing unusual about using wood and steel together, but I realised by using it in the middle of the chair between wooden parts and with colour, it would bring something fresh to this typology of chair," Morrison told Dezeen.
The T&O collection is named for its resemblance to the two letters, with the crossbar of the T and the roundness and counter of the O reflected in the table and chair he first designed for the range, in 2016. Both of these pieces are now also available in ash.
