As you may have noticed, I’ve been posting some interesting shapes lately. I used to be very rectilinear, but now I think I’m rebeling in the form of hexagonals and other equilaterals. I have not yet hit rock-bottom (amorphous or abstracts), but I’m teetering. Do they have programs for people like me?

Have we posted this before? I don’t think so, but it sure seems like we would have. There’s not much to say, other than this table is stupendous. It’s made of powder coated 3mm mild steel and is available in white, dark blue, and grey. I think I love this one more than my shoes too.

Designed by Richard Shed.

40 x 40 x H40cm.

So if you need some surface space on a small budget, I’d recommend taking a look at these tables. I think they’ve got a lot of punch for the price (quite fond of the stylized shaping of the legs with the laminated top).

“Context Furniture’s William & Mary tables add a different kind of contrast, with their ultrasmooth laminate surfaces and aluminum legs. The silhouettes (again, especially in the legs, but also in the shaping of the tabletop edges) still draw on historical designs, but the overall result is distinctly modern.”

Some color options: black knight, invasion red, monarch white, royal blue

Materials: Anodized aluminum legs with 3/4 inch laminated, multi-ply top.

This little table is pretty neat. It’s a ready-to-assemble type of thing. It arrives flat and you bend it into its shape. There’s a coffee and console table too. And! If you like robin’s egg blue, you’ve got that option for the base as well.

Steel frame, wood veneer top.

This little table has a lot bite for its bark. What does that mean? I don’t know really, but what I’m trying to say is that for the price, it’s a nice little table.

•Solid beech and hardwood veneer
•Lacquer stain (espresso base, midtone top)
•Tongue and groove joinery

This is a nice DeStijl example was designed in 1922 and reportedly was one of Eileen Grays favorite pieces and stood in her living room until her death.

“She exhibited it in 1922 at an exhibition of French art in Amsterdam. It was no surprise that this small table aroused the attention of the DeStijl architects. The sculptural Quality, the use of color and the logical design are all features of ‘DeStijl’.”

Made from beech and MDF, lacquered in black and white in satin Gloss

25.2″ x 24.2″ x 32″h

Shown are the front and the back of the table.

Now this is something for those of you that like to change things around. Alone, each piece functions as a sculptural side table, but in multiples, you can mix things up and move them around to form many, many interesting shapes. Four units shown.

Steel with coating; available in orange, grey, green, black, or brown.

Acrylic is not “out”. It’s still “in”. I don’t know if anybody said it was really out yet, but I’m preemptively stating such so that everyone still feels secure in purchasing furniture made out of this great stuff we call acrylic.

Surely you’ve heard of Scrapile furniture before? If so, you earn points. If not, well, you better read up, ’cause they’ve got a really great line of furniture made from wood scraps.
They earn a bajillion points for recycling tons of wood that would go into landfills and creating really great pieces that I certainly would be proud to use and display in my home. These cubes are within a somewhat modest budget, and they offer such versitility with stacking options or as a side table, etc. Each piece is made using non-toxic water-soluble glue and hand finished with Danish Oil which creates a water-resistant finish. Since they’re handcrafted, each one will be unique.

H 15″ x W 18″ x D 10″

Nice for bedside or sofaside or something. The curve of the top panel is especially nice; it’s available in White Enamel or Anodized Aluminum (with or without shelf). I just wish it was a little bit less ‘spensive.

Wood finish available in Walnut, Maple, or Cherry.

*Shown in Cherry, White Enamel top panel w/ shelf.

Dimensions: 18″ h x 15″ w x 15″ d

I first saw this side table on another site for a bit more (enough that I thought some of you might consider it not such a great table after all), but when looking through retromodern’s cache of tables, I happily saw it’s available for a little less.

This table is actually a sheet of solid aluminum with a real wood veneer, so it has that nice touch of metal peeking through on the edges. Wallmounted (such a nice option) or resting on the floor, it’s got some nice sleek curves that anybody would admire. Delivery will be a slight wait (10 weeks, sorry) but I think it’d be worth it. Available in oak or American walnut.

12h x 16w x 13.75″d.

This table is affordable as well as versatile. The size lends itself to function as a side table and/or magazine holder, a bedside table, and, as Unica suggests, if necessary, even a bedtray. Available in transparent (crystal) or colored polycarbonate (smoked, red, orange, olive green, light blue, and black).

33.5″w x 11.8″h x 15.8″d

Now here are some tables that qualify as affordable, modern, and simple. An interesting tidbit from MoMA’s site:

“The name “MUJI” is derived from the Japanese phrase “Mujirushi Ryohin,” meaning “No Brand Goods.” Over the last 20 years, they have developed a worldwide following with a guiding philosophy that emphasizes innovative and simple materials, processes, and packaging.”

Made of scratch-resistant, powder-finished steel.

These tables are just the thing to add some ambiance to your home (maybe the bedroom, eh?). You can adjust the amount of light by touching the powdered steel table anywhere. So easy!

Available in black or white with white lights (multi-colored lights are available through Stereoluz’s site).

Made of powder coated sheet steel, this table defies normal expectations of structural stability in your bed or sofa’s side table. Conventions need not apply to your home, right?
