CLASH, a new limited-edition collaboration between OKHA Design Studio and Bronze Age, blurs the boundaries between art and functionality.
The latest addition to OKHA‘s collection defies conventions with its punk attitude and poetic essence. CLASH, a limited-edition table cast in bronze by Bronze Age, reflects the rebellious spirit of OKHA’s Creative Director, Adam Court, who has been leading the design studio to produce groundbreaking pieces for the last 16 years.
Adam has admired Bronze Age’s work for years, so working alongside the talented Charles Haupt on CLASH was a natural decision. “Their expertise and contribution were vital in bringing the design to life. The intricate engineering required to create the bronze masterpiece posed a complex challenge, leading us to build a full-scale mock-up using life-size 3D printing and constructing an entire table from these segments. The result is a testament to the dedication and ingenuity of the team,” he says.
There are subtle, subconscious references to Adam’s distinct taste in music, jewellery, cinema, fashion, and photography in all his furniture pieces, making them very personal. “Without consciously being aware of it, my designs are about my history,” explains Adam.

The inspiration behind the details of the CLASH table frame, cast in solid bronze, can be seen in the studded punk bracelet decorating Adam’s wrist and his dive into motifs of African culture past and present.
The table series will form part of an exciting upcoming exhibition of unique statement pieces that will mark the opening of STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN’S new gallery in New York. As a gallery known for its discerning eye for collectable design, STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN is dedicated to showcasing unique and cutting-edge pieces, and has become a destination for collectors.
There are only 12 tables available worldwide (exclusive to STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN), with each numbered and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, making CLASH an enticing inclusion to any discerning art and design collection.
