Carter Geometric Wooden Console Table - Black

Our Carter console table pairs an oval wooden top with a frame of black iron, and the top is what gives it its character: the grain runs in segments that radiate from the centre in a geometric sunburst, still visible through the black finish. It is made from firwood, MDF and iron, and it measures 110cm long, 38.5cm wide and 65cm tall. The 38.5cm depth gives you a 110cm surface that sits against a wall without taking over a narrow room.

We see it first in a hallway or entrance, where a long, shallow surface is what the space allows: a place for a lamp, a bowl for keys, a stack of books or a vase of stems. It works as well against a living room wall, on a wide landing or beneath a staircase, and in a bedroom it makes a slim dressing surface for jewellery dishes and a hairbrush. The maker gives a maximum load of 10KG, so treat it as a display table for lamps, ceramics, books and plants rather than somewhere to rest anything heavy. At 65cm tall, it leaves plenty of wall over it for a mirror or a piece of artwork.

The maker lists two finishes, a powder coating and a water based lacquer, and the legs are black iron. At each end, slim upright legs drop to a curved base rail that sweeps round in a half oval, repeating the line of the top. Wipe it clean with a moist cloth. The table weighs 7.39KG, and the styling props shown are not included. For styling, keep the arrangement to one or two taller pieces at one end and something low at the other; the sunburst pattern is worth leaving partly on show, and the open frame keeps the floor beneath it clear for a basket or a sculpture.
