Cartoon Bear Side Table – Pink, Green, Coffee, Black or White

A side table shaped as a cartoon bear, in Pink, Green, Coffee, Black or White. It is a figurative object first and a table second: the form is the product, and the flat top is what makes it usable rather than purely decorative.

A shaped table carries different practical constraints than a rectangular one. The usable surface is smaller than the footprint, because the form takes up space a plain table would have given over to the top. Stability comes from the shape's own mass rather than from a spread of legs. Pink and Green are the two colors that commit a room to something; Coffee, Black and White let the shape read as a silhouette instead.

This suits a child's room, a playroom, or a room where one piece is allowed to be unserious. It works as a stool about as well as it works as a table.
