Discover the Organic Shape Oak Side Table

The appeal of this piece is its outline. Rather than a circle or a square, the top of this organic shape side table curves loosely across 70 x 70 cm, a form that reads as hand-drawn and gives a room of straight sofas and rectangular rugs something to breathe against. It is made from solid oak wood in a natural finish, so the pale straw colour and open grain of the timber stay fully visible from every angle.

Working in solid oak rather than veneer means the edge profile is timber all the way through, which is what allows a curved outline to be shaped and sanded without a seam appearing anywhere along it. Adjustable legs take up dips in the floor, and the wood is backed by FSC 100% chain-of-custody certification from responsibly managed forests. Other finishes and sizes exist within the same design, should a room need more than one.

Building a Nest of Tables Around It

Paired with the matching coffee table, this natural oak table becomes half of a nest of tables at two heights. Tucked underneath, the two occupy barely more floor than one; drawn apart, they serve opposite ends of a sofa. Because the outlines are organic rather than geometric, they overlap without the awkward alignment problem rectangular nesting tables always have — there is no single correct position, which makes the arrangement much easier to live with.

Pale oak needs a little more protection than a dark finish, simply because rings and stains show. Use coasters, wipe spills at once, and clean the natural oak surface with a barely damp cloth followed by a dry one. Skip solvent sprays entirely. Level the adjustable legs when you first position the 70 x 70 cm side table, then check again if it moves rooms. Handled that way, the timber lightens gently with age rather than marking.
