The Café Central Table have a unique asymmetric imposing shape that converge art and design. It was inspired by the brazilians coffee beans and translates our culture in many ways. Once it is unusual to have a scaled proportion of a seed, it cause curiosity and projects the user to a new level of abstraction and originality.

Mula Preta Design Studio was created in 2012 by designer Andre Gurgel and architect Felipe Bezerra and designer Andre Gurgel , both from Natal-Brazil, when they decided to be partners as they had a lot in common regarding creative ideas. The name was inspired in a song of one of the icons of Northeast Brazil, Luiz Gonzaga, since the main concept is to represent that region. With that in mind, they putted this culture in evidence internationally, participating in exhibitions in Paris and Milan, where they rewarded several awards.
