Why must a table be simply a table, when pieces like the Bye-Bye Bird Table remind us of what fun design can truly be. Runa Klock of Frøystad + Klock conceived this adorable bird cage coffee table with a quirky escape from the standard structures of both.
With an interest in aesthetics, the surface has been embellished with far more vertical supports than necessary, as proven by its uncompromised support despite manipulation to the wires on one side. Not strictly replicating a birdcage either, the playful piece has no hatch, but instead reveals an opening that suggests your feathered friend had pried apart the brass bars. The perfect lighthearted element to add to any living space, the Bye-Bye Bird Table can double as an ideal shelter for a pet bed.
