Florence Knoll Hairpin Stacking Table
Knoll's reprisal of Florence Knoll's 1948 stacking table is your gain. Accessibly priced and enormously versatile, this is an iconic modern side table with a choice of so many happy colors, you'll want more than one.
Bowl Side Table
Fashioned from sustainable mango wood, the Mater Bowl Table's upturned edges form a deep surface area that keeps objects beautifully contained. 4 sizes and 3 color choices ensure that there's a Bowl for everyone.
Prince AHA Stool
Kartell's lightweight, accessibly priced Prince AHA stool makes the perfect side table for everyday living and impromptu gatherings alike. Its hourglass shape and range of 5 soft colors segues nicely into contemporary settings.
Bumper Ottoman
Whether used as an accent table, foot stool, or seating, Bumper is hard to beat for versatility. Soft felted wool blend upholstery (in a boatload of colors) and optional powder-coated steel tray make for smooth sailing in any context.
Saarinen Round Side Table
It's hard not to put Saarinen's elegant modern table on a pedestal when it adds instant design cred to any contemporary space, but its worth noting how gracefully this Mid Century icon has aged, 60 years on from its introduction.
Tall Turn Table
Solid turned Acacia wood and an elegant silhouette make this contemporary table an eye-catching addition to the modern interior. Simultaneously contemporary and primitive, Turn's good looks only get better with age.
