Mannelli Geometric Wooden Side Table - Green

This is a round side table with real character. Its top is 40cm across, finished in a distressed whitewash, and sits on a slim column of stacked geometric shapes, pointed diamonds and flat discs broken up by smooth round beads, and the whole column stands on a domed green base. It is made from firwood and iron in equal measure and stands 60cm tall, so it has the outline of a pedestal while taking up very little floor space. The geometric column is the point of it: from across a room it looks like a stack of oversized beads holding up the round top.

At 60cm tall it sits comfortably beside an armchair or the end of a sofa in a living room, and the top is wide enough for a reading lamp, a vase or a few books. The maker gives a maximum load of 10KG, so it is meant for lighter things rather than anything heavy. A potted plant or a candlestick is the sort of thing it does well. It also works in a bedroom as a bedside table where floor space is short, or in a hallway as a small stand for a vase. The green base and the patterned column suit a home that likes a little colour and pattern without a large piece of furniture.

The table arrives for self-assembly, and the maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. At 4.67KG it is easy to lift and move from room to room. The distressed whitewash on the top leaves the grain of the wood in view, which softens the stronger green below it. Care is simple: wipe it clean with a moist cloth. For styling, keep what sits on top fairly simple, one vase or one plant, so the stacked column stays the thing people notice; the styling props shown are not included.
