The Anne Console Table is a new piece from furniture designer Gareth Neal. The table presents two distinct impressions on the eye due to a unique design approach. A sleek curved table appears to be surrounded by a modern block-shaped table. Neal achieves the effect by carving thin slats out of the legs and sides of the table.
The table is made from premium American walnut. The Anne Console Table has companion pieces, including a chair, that were made with the same technique.
