area coffee table
Area is a sensuous addition to a room, with its rich walnut veneer and stylized organic form. Morphed from the concepts of spatial definition and positive/negative space in architecture, Area's distinctive shape allows it to stand out in the center of a room as a cocktail table, or blend in as a well-considered side table.
