Little Picnic Table by Torafu Architects


Presenting the versatile LITTLE PICNIC TABLE, a delightful fusion of a table and a bench. Perfect for two children to sit face-to-face and interact or for adults to utilize it as a comfortable bench with an attached side table. Its downsized proportions open up a world of possibilities, making it suitable for various uses.

Adorn it with plants and small decorative items, or relish the essence of a picnic right from the comfort of your indoor space. The LITTLE PICNIC TABLE effortlessly adds charm and functionality to any setting, providing endless opportunities for enjoyment and creativity.

Founded in 2004 by Koichi Suzuno and Shinya Kamuro, TORAFU ARCHITECTS embraces a working approach deeply rooted in architectural thinking. The duo's creative endeavors encompass a wide array of products, ranging from architectural and interior design to exhibition space design, product design, spatial installations, and film making.
