Nest of Three Tables and a Matching Sideboard in Solid Walnut

the same nest with an 800mm sideboard, which is most of a small living room in one order.

Everything we sell is under 800mm wide. That is not a style, it is the constraint the whole range is designed around, because it is the measurement that decides whether a piece of furniture works in a small flat. Eight hundred millimetres is roughly the width of a standard internal door, the width of the gap most people have between a sofa and a wall, and the point past which a piece stops reading as part of the room and starts reading as an obstacle. Designing to it is harder than designing without it and it is the only interesting thing about furniture for small spaces.

What you get

• One console table

Assembly

Flat packed, with a hex key, a spanner and printed instructions in the box. Fittings are cam locks and threaded steel inserts rather than chipboard screws, which is what lets a piece be taken apart and reassembled without the joints going loose. We reckon on three moves and have tested to ten.

If you are renting

Nothing here touches the wall. No drilling, no anchors, no filler and no repainting on the way out. Felt pads on every contact point, and a set of spare pads in the box for when the first set wears through.
