Ultra-thin concrete and curved, cantilevered form come together to give the Grasshopper table—designed by Makoto Fukuda for Escofet—a smooth, dynamic and impossibly light appearance. Its deliberately incomplete shape produces two personalities. At one end, it closes gently to become an intimate place to chat, and at the other, Grasshopper opens up with a welcoming gesture.

Escofet
Founded in Barcelona in 1886, Escofet began as a manufacturer of cement tiles for architectural application and has since evolved into a world design leader in the innovation of urban elements. The group works closely with designers to create the highest quality cast concrete, wood, metal, and high-density polyethylene site furnishings. It has a long tradition of collaboration with elite architects and artists from Antoni Gaudí and Joan Miró, to Ricardo Bofill, Arata Izozaki, Jean Nouvel and Richard Rogers. Today, Escofet is at the forefront of the movement for urban transformation, developing solutions that energize, beautify and enhance the usability of public outdoor space.
