Re-imagine the Cocktail Table with Multiples
Written by faith | 0Often I suggest small tables for my interior design projects in Seattle and Portland. I like the interest created and the functional aspect too. Recently I wrote about ‘poufs’ as practical options for seats, tables, and as alternative to the traditional extra seat. Browsing online I happened upon a recent blog by friend and fellow designer, Mark Cutler. A recently completed project was featured in the LA Times, read it here, but my eyes quickly found the seating group with multiple tables. This is an excellent image of the power of tables and of design creativity.

From Mark Cutler Design, “In the living room, a collection of eclectic small tables, including a Chinese stool and a Cambodian drum, was used instead of one large coffee table. The grouping is more visually interesting and flexible; the tables can be separated and used in different conversation areas.”
In a more formal area or different aesthetic changing the finish is an option for adding interest. This so called ‘invisible table’ is from Hickory Chair.
