Rivi Large End Table

The Rivi end table from Four Hands is a round pedestal table built from solid reclaimed woods, each board chosen for its character. The top is a smooth circle that keeps the knots, grain and shifts in tone from one board to the next, and it rests on a sculptural base instead of four legs. The scale is generous for an end table, with a deep overhang and a heavy, planted feel. Because the wood is reclaimed and mixed, no two tables read exactly alike.

The shape follows the pedestal forms of Romanian sculptor Constantin Brâncuși, reduced to a single pillar and a plain disc. It comes in two finishes, one a soft bleached tone that lets the grain stay pale and quiet, the other a deep, dark reclaimed brown that sits closer to a hearth or a library. Both pair easily with linen, bouclé and worn leather, and with ceramic lamps or plaster forms on top.

Set it beside a sofa where a lamp, a stack of books and a glass all have room. It also works between two armchairs, or in an entry holding a bowl for keys and a vase of branches. With no drawers or shelves, the table stays a clean, open surface that suits a corner of the living room.
