Story
Separate or combined
The page explains that the tables can be separated and used as side tables in different rooms, or combined to form a larger coffee table whose size and shape adapt to the surrounding space. Used together, Fredericia says, they give a sculptural presence to the interior.
Strength with a slender frame
A solid wood base supports the veneer top, which the page describes as combining strength with aesthetics. Despite the slender construction, it says the tables form an impressive cubic form, and that the few materials combined elegantly affect the overall look of the room.
