Tama Coffee Table by Ethimo

Sculptural Simplicity, Crafted Precision

Designed by Valerio Sommella for Ethimo, the Tama collection reinterprets the traditional side table as a refined, single-material object with a strong sculptural identity. Minimal in form yet complex in craftsmanship, each piece is made in enamelled ceramic, expressing a perfect balance between essential design and artisanal quality.

Inspired by the Japanese word for something precious and harmonious, “Tama” also echoes the rhythm of an African drum, reflected in its compact circular silhouette. The result is a collection of coffee tables that feel both symbolic and functional, ideal as accent pieces in sophisticated outdoor or indoor environments.
