Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Moroso Nanook Side Table?

The Nanook Side Table was designed by Swiss designer Philippe Bestenheider and introduced as part of the Moroso collection in 2008. Bestenheider is known for a refined, architecturally rigorous approach to furniture design.

What materials is the Nanook Side Table made from?

The Nanook Side Table is constructed from sheet steel for the top and tubular steel for the legs. It is available in a powder coat finish or a polished gold chrome finish, each giving the piece a distinct character.

Is the Nanook Side Table suitable for contract and hospitality interiors?

Yes. Its steel construction and made-to-order finish options make it well suited to hospitality suites, waiting areas, and contract environments where durability and design coherence are both considered.

Can the finish be specified for a design project?

The Nanook is made to order, which means finish and color selections can be aligned with the broader material palette of a given interior project. This makes it a practical choice for designers working within defined specifications.

How does the Nanook relate to Moroso's broader design identity?

Moroso has long collaborated with internationally recognized designers to produce pieces that sit at the intersection of craft and concept. The Nanook reflects this approach, prioritizing formal precision and material clarity over decorative gesture.
