Description
A Coffee Table Designed to Be Seen from Above
The Warm Nordic From Above Coffee Table is designed around the relationship between its transparent glass top and the graphic steel structure beneath.
Rather than hiding the construction, the design makes it part of the visual experience. Viewed from above, the frame creates a carefully balanced geometric composition that gives the table its distinctive identity.
Designed by Morten & Jonas
From Above was designed by Norwegian design duo Morten & Jonas and introduced as part of Warm Nordic’s Contemporary Collection.
Their approach combines playful visual ideas with carefully considered construction, and From Above is a clear example of this balance. What initially appears to be a simple round glass coffee table reveals more detail the closer you look.
Three Elegant Triangles
One of the defining details of From Above is the geometric pattern created by the frame when the table is viewed from above.
The legs and supporting structure form three elegant equilateral triangles beneath the glass, creating a graphic focal point without adding unnecessary ornament.
Glass That Reveals the Structure
The glass top is central to the design. Its transparency allows the frame beneath to remain fully visible, giving the table a lighter appearance and ensuring the construction becomes part of the overall composition.
Smoke-coloured glass introduces a softer and slightly more atmospheric expression, bringing subtle historical references into an otherwise clean contemporary design.
Powder-Coated Steel Frame
The glass top is supported by a powder-coated steel frame, giving From Above its slender but clearly defined structure.
The carefully resolved junction between the legs and the surrounding frame helps the table feel refined from every angle, while the powder-coated finish introduces colour without distracting from the overall geometry.
Available in Two Sizes
From Above is available in two complementary sizes, allowing the design to work in both compact and more generous living spaces.
The smaller version measures Ø52 x H45 cm, making it suitable as a compact coffee or occasional table. The larger version measures Ø72 x H40 cm, giving it a broader surface and lower profile that works naturally at the centre of a lounge arrangement.
A Choice of Warm Nordic Colours
The steel frame is available in a selection of carefully chosen Warm Nordic colours, allowing the same graphic form to take on different personalities.
More muted finishes create a quieter architectural expression, while stronger tones such as Rusty Red, Butter Yellow and Ocean Blue make the frame a more deliberate part of the room.
Made for Textiles, Rugs and Nordic Woods
From Above works particularly well within interiors that combine softer materials with clean furniture lines. The transparency of the glass allows rugs and flooring to remain visible beneath the table, helping the design feel visually light.
Pair it with wool, linen, timber and textured upholstery for a warm Nordic scheme, or place it within a more minimal interior where the geometry of the frame can become the main detail.
Light in Appearance, Strong in Detail
The strength of From Above lies in the contrast between its visual lightness and the precision of its construction.
The round glass top keeps the table open and unobtrusive, while the steel structure beneath provides enough graphic detail to give the piece a distinctive presence within the room.

Caring for the Warm Nordic From Above Coffee Table
Clean the glass top with a soft lint-free cloth and a suitable glass cleaner, avoiding abrasive pads that could mark the surface.
Dust the powder-coated steel frame regularly with a soft cloth and wipe light marks with a slightly damp cloth before drying. Avoid abrasive or aggressive cleaning products that could damage the powder-coated finish.
