Suri karas: heritage coffee table

SURIKARAS is a rustic coffee table inspired by the kuih karas, lace like form of Kuih Karas, a traditional Malaysian snack recognized for its intricate golden threads. This design reimagines the kuih's signature pattern into a handcrafted tabletop that celebrates local food heritage through material and form. Constructed from solid reclaimed wood, the table highlights natural textures and embraces the raw elegance of rustic aesthetics. The tabletop’s surface pattern draws from the swirling visual of kuih karas, while woven rattan elements are subtly integrated into the base paying homage to traditional Malaysian craftsmanship. Finished with handsanding, charring, and a natural matte coat, the table reflects artisanal care and warmth. Developed in collaboration with Suri Decor, SURIKARAS blends heritage-inspired design with contemporary usability. The result is a culturally rich and functional coffee table that invites storytelling and connection. SURIKARAS brings tradition into the modern home, turning everyday furniture into a tribute to Malaysia’s vibrant design language.
