Boopop: A Bamboo Table

The Boopop coffee table is comprised of three layers of bamboo that have been cut by a CNC machine and then overlaid with resin, which amplifies the wood’s character and gives the table a slick appearance. The grain of the lighter-colored top layer of bamboo is perpendicular to the grain of the darker layer underneath, further adding to the depth of the concentric-circle pattern. The table seems almost to float, says Jovica Milic, who designed the piece with Claudia Strano Jennings, because its triangular stainless-steel legs look like they want to turn in on the table. Restaurants and retail shops have expressed interest in Boopop for their lounge areas, but the table would make a lovely addition to the home,
