Side tables are usually placed beside other furniture items in the home, office, or hotel lobby; however, they are constantly ignored because of their size. This happens especially when the furniture, a sofa set, for example, is overwhelmingly large for a room. Such tables should not be regarded as just another furniture piece because they serve a great purpose—storage or a place for the items you want within easy reach. Without these side tables, the room can look too messy or cluttered, so it’s important what you’re buying is of the right size, fits your style, and matches the room’s aesthetics. But for a side table to be memorable, it must add a sense of playfulness to the space and offer a sense of wonder to everyone who will see it for the first time.

Designer: All We Value

The Sticks Table is a steel side table that can be regarded as an art piece or a sculpture with its unique shape and form. Designed by All We Value, the side table is a product of the design studio’s imagination, as shown in its distinctive design. It appears like sticks randomly joined together to hold a structure but here, you only see one long bar holding a tabletop on one end, while two shorter legs handle the central leg, giving the side table solidity, structure, and balance.

This side table looks like something you could get from Ikea because of the several choices of multiple powder-coated colors. It could be if it also boasts a flat-pack design, but it doesn’t, mainly because this sculptural steel side table is welded, so there is no way you can disassemble them. Nuts and bolts may not be enough if the designer decided to use them on the tubular shapes. The base is sculptural and presents a unique silhouette (like a typography), while the tabletop maintains a simple round shape.

The Sticks Table can be used for just about anything, as it’s not limited for your home or the bedroom. You can use it for work or in areas that require you to plop your things on the floor for quick tasks like a photography studio. It can look great in a modern contemporary living room or bedroom, especially with the vivid colors available: Blue, Black, Orange, White, and Green. It doesn’t have any curve or hole in the tabletop so you can easily transport it from one room to another like the Wavelet or the Grab Side Table. With the Sticks table, you probably do not want to move it because it already delivers a sense of contentment, wonder, and joy just by standing still on its own, looking pretty, practical, and playful.
