Tobi-Ishi Collection

'Tobi-Ishi' refers to the ornamental stones in Japanese gardens, which have inspired the components of Tobi-Ishi. It converges both functional features and a statuesque appearance with amazing results.

After the debut in the home collection, Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby design the outdoor version of the iconic round dining table and of the small table clearly inspired by Zen. The design duo are great enthusiasts of Japanese art and culture, and the name and inspiration come from the smooth stones (tobi-ishi) used as ornaments in traditional Zen gardens.

In 2022, a series of new editions celebrates the 10th anniversary of the launch of the original Tobi-Ishi table, which also marked the beginning of the studio’s enduring collaboration with B&B Italia.
