Kaiwa - loosely translated from Japanese meaning conversation. The intention was to angle the ends of the table creating multiple conversation lines between occupants, with this version in luxurious Black Walnut.  The biased grain direction, skewed leg direction, and crease lined edge create different looks depending on ones orientation to the table. Designed by Kirk Van Ludwig.

Why buy an Autonomous Furniture piece?

Our Environmental Philosophy and Quality Standards

We tailor. If you see something you like, but perhaps it does not quite fit your space, talk to us about what unique alterations to size and material are available.

Our furniture pieces are meant to last decades, we believe it's better to invest in a piece you love and will use for years, rather than buying cheaply made, poor faux material furniture that you'll need to replace every year or so. Our pieces can easily maintain their pristine condition. 

You can put your feet up on our furniture pieces, they won't wobble. We want you to use them well, no dainty maneuvers required.
