Know before you buy
Both sizes feature the same 11 3/8-inch diameter top, but they differ in height. The small version stands at 18 7/8 inches, while the large version is 21 5/8 inches tall.
The embossed lacquered finish is applied to durable steel, providing a textured surface that is resistant to minor scratches and fingerprints compared to high-gloss alternatives.
Because of its unique, sculptural silhouette, it works beautifully as a standalone accent piece. However, using the two different heights together creates a layered, dynamic look that is ideal for flanking a sofa or lounge chair.
Yes, the table is crafted from solid steel, which provides a weighted, stable base. It is designed to remain secure on most floor surfaces, including low-pile carpets.
Simply wipe the surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, ensuring you dry it immediately to maintain the integrity of the embossed finish.
