Stability does not require symmetry, and objects that express a certain structural impossibility, like the Incunabular Side Table, are often the most absorbing to behold.
Finely finished with Danish or white oil and crafted from beautiful oak, ash or black American walnut, this peculiar piece of furniture has a playful quality that is quite unexpected. Its impeccable assembly and rich material composition provide the makings of a classic bedroom or living room accessory; however, Simon Moorhouse has endeavored to make it look iconic.
Stepping away from the conventional four-legged vertical supports, the Incunabular Side Table is placed apparently precariously upon an off-centered tripod. Invisible City manufacture this handsome handmade moveable with a whimsical cantilevered cubby for a contemporary aesthetic.
