Side tables are mainly used to store daily documents like telephone diary, memos, cards etc. they provide a small storage for the living space.
The form of the side table needed to be directly complementing the arm chair and coffee table. Thus, the trapezoidal form was introduced to show the visual connection.
Tapering legs and bentply top which is signature of Scandinavian design makes any structure look light and classic. Implementing both attributes in adequate proportions was the whole idea of this design. The form exploration involved an ellaborate process to collaborate the storage needs and aesthetic requirement.
The image shown above conveys the form transformation from the traditional facade to a study structure. The tapering legs carved out on lathe gives it a subtle Scandinavian feel.
The side table perfectly comprehends the likes of traditional vernacular façades of a Kerala house.
The trapezoidal form and the natural finish of wood don’t fail to enhance the rich character of Kerala. The slender legs are tapering proportionately to make the piece classic and not fragile. Gold leafing on the top does a lot more than defining the drawers. The corner openings give the structure an added function and optimizes the space perfectly. The top jali motif on an elegant marble piece gives a more silent feel to the entire structure.
The small yet sturdy side table brings more than design and function to the range of furniture.
