SUNAE: A Kinetic HIMACS Table Inspired by Japanese Art

SUNAE is a kinetic table that seamlessly combines ancient Japanese artistry, contemporary design and innovative technology, transcending the notion of furniture to become an immersive experience. Entirely designed and manufactured in Switzerland, and fabricated largely from HIMACS, it embodies exceptional precision and craftsmanship while inviting moments of contemplation and meditation.

The name SUNAE is inspired by the Japanese word 砂絵 (suna-e), meaning “sand drawing”. Staying true to this heritage, every piece is handcrafted, giving each table its own distinctive identity and unique character.

The SUNAE collection explores the art of kinetic design through a range of pieces created to accompany every moment of daily life, from the iconic ORIGIN table and the delicate ORBIT bowl to the striking DIMENSION L dining table and the DIMENSION S and M coffee tables.

ORIGIN: Perfect Balance

The ORIGIN S model features a perfectly smooth, minimalist circular shell fabricated in HIMACS Alpine White Ultra-Thermoforming or Intense Ultra Black. Designed to soften rigid lines, it introduces a natural sense of fluidity into contemporary living spaces.

The ORIGIN M is an elegant 130 cm round dining table, comfortably accommodating up to six guests.

The choice of the HIMACS Ultra range, offering up to 30% greater thermoforming capability, provides virtually unlimited design possibilities. For the Intense Ultra Black version, it also delivers rich, consistent colour throughout fabrication with the same ultra-thermoforming performance. Its seamless, non-porous surface is highly resistant to stains while remaining exceptionally easy to maintain.

From the circular frame and flowing sand patterns to the base and glass top, every component can be customised with a wide selection of materials, allowing each table to be perfectly coordinated with its interior setting.

DIMENSION: Let Movement Shape the Moment

Another signature piece in the collection, DIMENSION is available in three formats: dining table, bar-height table and coffee table. Fully customisable, it elegantly combines HIMACS solid surface with premium wood species to enhance sophisticated interiors.

With Dimension L, every meal becomes an occasion. Measuring an impressive 200 × 100 cm and seating up to eight people, this generously proportioned dining table transforms every gathering into a shared moment of poetry, accompanied by the ever-changing patterns traced in the sand.

The Dimension S coffee table, measuring 140 × 70 cm, creates a true panoramic canvas where the steel sphere performs a silent choreography across the sand.

Its contemporary rectangular proportions naturally complement a living room, offering a spectacular surface upon which an endless variety of patterns emerge before your eyes. Combining minimalist design with an invitation to relax, Dimension S effortlessly becomes the focal point of any interior.

A Moving Sensory Experience

Here, minimalist design meets the poetry of movement. Beneath its 85 cm diameter glass top, a steel sphere silently sculpts intricate patterns in the sand, transforming the living space into a calming gallery of ever-changing art.

SUNAE opens a doorway to contemplation. Guided by the silent movement of the sphere, the eye naturally follows the evolving patterns, creating a profound sense of calm and wellbeing. There is little doubt that this remarkable object becomes the centrepiece of any interior.

Connected to an intuitive mobile app, the table can generate an infinite variety of patterns, allowing users to explore endless combinations of lines, rhythms and contrasts. An integrated touch-control system further enhances the experience, providing immediate and intuitive interaction.

Whether used as a meditation object or as a captivating centrepiece when entertaining guests, SUNAE creates a unique atmosphere filled with serenity. More than a piece of furniture, it offers a genuine moment of relaxation and an immersive sensory experience at the heart of the home.
