Versatile companion for any type of living space
A proportional size and versatile side table for any type of living space.
The contrast between the sharp leg profiles and the gently rounded edges of the tabletop creates a striking and sophisticated effect. In a functional detail, a gap between the frame and the tabletop creates a convenient place to store anything from magazines, plants, bottles and newspapers etc.
The wooden storage tabel is carefully dimensioned to match a wide variety of uses and contexts, for example as a kitchen organiser, magazine rack, side table or office desk organiser.
A Natural Material
The variations of oak
Wood is a natural material, and its appearance is strongly influenced by how the timber is cut from the log. Different cutting methods reveal different parts of the tree’s structure, naturally creating variations in grain pattern, texture and colour. For example, plank-cut oak often shows wider and more vivid grain patterns, while quarter-cut or rift-cut oak creates a calmer and more linear appearance.
These variations are a natural and expected characteristic of solid wood. They are not defects or inconsistencies, but a direct result of the tree’s natural growth and the way the material is processed.
The examples shown here illustrate how differences in cut, structure and surface treatment can influence the final appearance of the wood. At Form & Refine, we embrace these differences as part of the material’s authentic character.
“When designing the side table, I wanted to create a universal storage unit stripped back to its essentials. You could say that the construction of the table is its design DNA.”
