A round side table from Four Hands, cast in aluminum and shaped after the classic tulip pedestal. The top is a thin, flat disc with a slight overhang, and it sits on a tapered base that flares toward the floor. Casting gives the metal a textured surface, and the finish pools darker in the recesses and reads lighter on the raised areas.
The tulip table has a long history in mid-century design, usually in molded plastic, marble or lacquered wood. This version keeps the silhouette and swaps in a heavier-handed material, so it lands somewhere between sculpture and furniture. The tactile finish suits warm woods, boucle, rattan and leather, and it holds its own beside a bolder piece without competing for attention.
Set it at the arm of a sofa, between two chairs or beside a bed, where it has room for a lamp, a drink and a stack of books. The aluminum is made for indoor or outdoor use, so it can also move to a porch or patio. Cover it or bring it inside during bad weather and when it is not in use.
