Jane Console Table

The Jane Console Table from Four Hands is a long, low-slung piece wrapped in a thick layer of beige painted linen that rolls over the top and down the sides in a soft waterfall shape. Beneath the linen sits a base of mahogany and oak veneer with rounded corners, and two drawers tuck into the frame on soft-close metal glides with dovetailed boxes. The painted finish gives the linen a slightly stiff, plaster-like hand, so the surface reads as texture first and fabric second.

The pale, sandy palette sits in the warm-neutral camp, with a tactile surface that suits quiet rooms built on layered whites, oatmeal and natural wood. The rounded corners and open space between the legs keep a substantial piece from feeling heavy, and the oak veneer ties back to wood tones elsewhere in a room. It pairs well with a sculptural lamp, a stack of art books and a mirror hung with room to spare.

Use it behind a sofa, along an entry wall or under a window in a hallway. The drawers hold keys, remotes, cords and table linens out of sight, and the top handles lamps and objects with room left over. It also works as a slim media console or a writing surface in a home office, with leg levelers to steady it on uneven floors.
