Design Dictionary: Nesting Table and Ottoman

Posted on 09. Sep, 2011 by Josephine Butler in Design Dictionary

In this next edition of our Design Dictionary series, we’re kicking back and relaxing. Nothing says relaxation like a hot cup of coffee and a cushy place to prop up your feet. And thanks to our friends, the ottoman and nesting tables, relaxation has never been easier!

Urban Contemporary Nesting Table

Nesting tables are a stacking set of accent tables graduating in height and designed to neatly fit (or nest) beneath one another. A great solution for small spaces, they typically come in groups of two or three. These versatile space savers are there when you need them and can be tucked away when you don’t.  They’re perfect for entertaining and impromptu dining (or just a hot cup of coffee), and with their varying heights, they add visual interest to any room.

Eve Ottoman

Believed to have emerged out of the Ottoman Empire sometime during the 16^th and 17^th centuries, ottomans were first used in their most traditional form as footstools. Today, these ever flexible, multifunctional workhorses serve double duty and are a home decorator’s best friend. They provide additional seating, function as a cocktail table, and many offer hidden storage for blankets, magazines and the like. In our case? They’re just what we need to prop up our feet and relax!
