Sonia

Patterns in Balance

Date

July 28, 2025

Brooklyn studio Vonnegut Kraft designed the Sonia Coffee Table, a piece that takes inspiration from a textile by Sonia Delaunay, first produced by Metz & Co in 1930.

The original fabric used a simple cross-hatch grid, broken by incomplete voids that looked like frayed edges. The table translates that language into furniture: a surface that feels both structured and slightly undone. Aluminum support volumes pierce through the grid, creating new patterns where the voids once were.

Each aluminum leg can be positioned anywhere within the grid, giving the piece flexibility in form and layout. Custom sizes, shapes, and finishes extend this openness even further.

The result is a table that feels graphic yet tactile, a balance of historical reference and contemporary interpretation, where structure becomes pattern and pattern becomes structure.
