Outdoor Coffee Table – Woven Cord, Textured Sand Finish

A coffee table wrapped in woven cord, in Textured Sand. The cord covers the body of the table rather than only the top, so the whole piece reads as texture instead of a hard surface, which is unusual for a table and closer in feel to a large pouf with a solid top.

Cord over a table frame has one clear practical advantage outdoors and one clear limit. The advantage is that water does not pool on a woven surface, so the table dries after rain rather than holding a puddle in the middle. The limit is that a woven surface cannot be wiped down the way a solid one can, so spills need rinsing out rather than mopping up. Textured Sand is pale enough that this matters on a terrace where drinks get set down.

It goes in the middle of a lounge seating group, where its texture works against the harder surfaces of stone or decking around it.
