The side or accent table is the unsung hero of furniture types. Serving not only as catch-alls for drinks, vases or magazines, they are also decorative power players in any room, adding just the right colour or texture to a space.

With a sculptural column base this side table has an aesthetic that is historic and modern at the same time. The design is reminiscent of Charles Dudouyt’s 1940s French table model with a similar stunning carved, dark stained oak body. Like that model, here the striking centre column is shaped out of turned solid wood, creating a grooved pattern. The centre column is resting on a circular base with a ring shaped carved motif on its side. The large top has the same ring carvings as the base and showcases the stunning grain of the wood. The circular base creates a grounded look, but as the top’s circumference is larger than the base’s, the table still appears light. The different carved shapes of the wood on the column and the impeccable joinery illustrate the craftsmanship and originality of the designer and craftsman. The solid wood is seemingly shaped into these intricate forms effortlessly with smooth surfaces, a sign of high-quality craftsmanship.

Even though they have been altered in form and function with various practices and styles going in and out of vogue, side tables are still beloved today. With the variety of shapes and the beautiful material, this sculptural side table can add that extra textural note to any space or even set the tone as an accent piece.
