It translates architectural lines, gestures, and materials into a functional domestic form, influenced by Mies van der Rohe's principles. This multi-functional taller square table is an end table or lounge table, practical for living rooms, lobbies, and entrances, used for holding drinks, books, plants, and decorative items. When butted together they can create a versatile lobby table, separated as needed.
