The modern home is somewhat disconnected from the natural world, which has encourage consumers to look for ways to incorporate a more natural aesthetic; the 'BoBo' Side Table Design does just this by taking influence from an unlikely source. Created in the likeness of the African Baobab tree, the 'BoBo' Side Table Design is fashioned with delicate leaves that act as the surface and a chunky stump that comes in either natural wood color or black.
Created by Dutch furniture design brand RKNL, the 'BoBo' Side Table Design is indeed made from the stump of a tree, more specifically the oak tree. The "leaves" are created using powder-coated steel or solid brass to accent the base accordingly.
