Oberon Curve Set of 2 Side Table - Smoked Ash

The Oberon Curve Side Tables in Smoked Ash are a set of two, the larger 46cm wide, 28cm deep and 50cm high, with curved ends. The narrow depth means they slide against a sofa arm rather than standing in front of it. They work together or apart.

Twenty-eight centimetres deep is the useful number. That is narrow enough to sit beside a sofa without pushing into the walkway, which is the situation most side tables fail at: they are square, they are 45cm, and they end up half in the room.

At 50cm high the top is level with most sofa arms, so a glass sits where a hand already rests. As a pair they can flank a chair or split between two seats.

The caveat is capacity. At 46cm by 28cm this holds a drink and a phone and genuinely nothing else, so it is the wrong table if you wanted somewhere to put a book down open.
