Alhambra Side Table

Round black rails, straight as fence posts, hold up a square of cream stone without a hint of fuss.

The Alhambra side table is from the Primitive Collection and is contemporary, made of huali and limestone. Its plain stretchers and rounded legs recall the restrained lines of classical Chinese tables, which often achieve their effect through proportion rather than carving. The limestone top is thick and smooth, with faint pale clouding. The frame below is a dark wood, its legs joined on every side by a high rail and a lower one, set into each other with softly rounded joints. It is 21.75 inches long, 21.75 deep and 17 high.

Simple, the way only careful things can be.
