Artie Kick Side Table - Butter

The Artie Kick Side Table in Butter is 40cm across and 46cm high, on an angled pillar base. The base kicks out to one side rather than sitting centred, which is where the name comes from. At 40cm it takes a drink and a book.

An off-centre base is not a styling trick. It means the table can be pushed closer to a chair than a centred pedestal allows, because the foot goes where your feet do not.

At 46cm high it sits just above most seat heights, which is where a hand falls without looking. At 40cm across it is deliberately small: a side table this size stays useful because it cannot become a shelf for everything in the room.

The caveat follows from the geometry. An angled base is less stable than a centred one under a sideways push, so it is not the table to lean on when standing up out of the chair beside it.
