Franka Round Wooden Side Table - Brown

Franka is a round side table made as a stack of five thick mango wood discs, each joined to the next by a short round column. The discs alternate between lighter and deeper tones of brown, so the side of the table reads as a run of bold stripes, and the grain of the wood shows clearly on every edge. It stands 45cm tall and 25cm across, and the maker lists its materials as mango wood and iron. It weighs 4.8KG, light enough to move from room to room whenever you want it somewhere else.

At 45cm tall and only 25cm across, this is a slim side table for the places a wider one will not go: beside an armchair in the corner of a room, at the end of a sofa, or next to a bed as a narrow bedside table. Being round, it is easy to walk past in a tight hallway or a small flat. The top holds a few books, a small lamp or a vase of dried stems, and the maximum load is 25KG, so it is made for display and everyday odds and ends rather than heavy pieces. It suits anyone who likes furniture with the look of the wood left on show.

The mango wood has a lacquer finish, and the column that joins the discs is brown mango wood as well. Care is simple: wipe it clean with a moist cloth. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. Mango is a natural timber with a lively grain, so the markings on your table will be its own. For styling, let the striped side do the work: we would keep the top to one or two things, such as a short stack of books and a small vase, and place it where its profile can be seen, beside a woven chair or against a plain wall.
