Two thick sides twist around each other like rope between a square top and a square base, leaving an open, sculptural gap through the middle that catches the eye even when the table is empty. It's carved from mungur wood, a dense tropical hardwood also called monkeypod or raintree, and the top still shows the wood's growth rings across its natural brown surface. At 23 pounds it's sturdy and doesn't shift underfoot, which matters if it's doing double duty as a plant stand. Grain and color vary piece to piece, so every one has its own pattern.

Styling
Use it as a side table next to a sofa or reading chair, where the open twist underneath keeps the piece from feeling heavy in the room despite its weight. It also works well as a plant stand, giving a trailing plant some height without a bulky base.
The natural finish sits easily with rattan, linen and other living room furniture in warm neutral tones, and it works just as well pulled up as a drink table next to a chair. In an entryway, it makes a narrow landing spot for keys or a small plant by the door.
Care
- Dust with a dry, soft cloth
- Wipe spills up promptly with a barely damp cloth
- Use a coaster or trivet under drinks and warm items
- Keep out of direct sun so the finish doesn't fade unevenly
- Avoid harsh cleaners or solvents on the wood
