Adeline Cocktail Table Large

A drum of grey patchwork, with the top fanning out from the center like a sliced cake.

The Adeline Cocktail Table, large, is by Oly, in resin. Cast resin lets a designer capture the look of pieced wood or stone in a lighter, more even material, a long-standing trick of modern furniture. The body is a low cylinder clad in squared grey panels, each with its own soft graining, set in staggered rows like brickwork. The top is laid in wedge-shaped pieces radiating from a small central starburst, so the pattern changes as the light moves across it. It stands on small dark feet. It is 17 inches high and 36 in diameter.

No corners to bark a shin on, which is a kindness.
