Artie Wave Side Table - Washed Terracotta

The Artie Wave Side Table in Washed Terracotta is oak veneer on an abstract pillar base, 42cm square and 48cm high. The terracotta tone is washed rather than solid. The base carries the design.

Washed terracotta on a sculptural form is a combination that either works completely or not at all in a given room. The tone is earthy and warm, closer to unglazed clay than to orange, and the wash means the grain still shows through rather than being painted over.

This is a piece to place where it is seen from more than one side, since the wave base changes shape as you move around it. Beside a chair in the middle of a room it earns its keep; pushed against a wall, half of what you paid for disappears. The top is 42cm square, which is enough for a lamp with room left over, and the piece is small enough to move when the room gets rearranged.
