The donut is a dense swirl of solid wood, rich with varying grain and gradient. Topped with a round glass top, the donut functions as a coffee, cocktail or conversation table, or by itself as sculpture or seat. The piece is made entirely from repurposed wood, using vast quantities of hardwood factory waste that are discarded to eliminate knots, cracks and color variation. To create the donut, the pieces are carefully composed by hand in a grid pattern and carved into its donut form. The arrangement of the boards throws up a unique flux of grain patterns that make each donut table distinct* and delicious to look at. Childhood memories of having to show the stubs of pencils to be granted a new one, and our Indian mothers shouting ‘do not waste anything’ - formed the underlying inspiration behind working with waste material and creating a geometry that renders it soft and sweet.

The nature of the donut and its construction, renders every single piece completely unique, with its grain, sizes of boards, and varying color tones in the wood material. Please view photos as a reference for patterns and color ranges only. ** std glass top is 48" diameter. Product dimensions is for solid wood base only.

Designed by Utharaa L Zacharias & Palaash Chaudhary

Soft-geometry, established in 2019 by Indian designers Utharaa L Zacharias and Palaash Chaudhary, creates collectible furniture and objects that serve as poignant reflections on the universal yearning for softness in an often harsh world. With the narrative backdrop of Zacharias and Chaudhary’s own experiences of living and working between cultures in India and the US, soft-geometry’s objects explore the suspension between contemporary geometries and ritualistic hand-building inspired by Indian craft traditions.
