Kensington Townhouse Two Tier Square Side Table

Side tables don’t always need to be understated, and this Kensington two-tier piece proves the point without resorting to excess. The solid iron frame is given character by knop detailing on each leg — a small but effective interruption to the straight lines that gives the table a more artisan, considered quality you won’t find in plainer designs.

Two mirrored glass surfaces — one at the top, one at the lower shelf — layer the reflective quality throughout the piece and make it work particularly well in rooms where light is at a premium. The lower shelf also provides genuinely useful additional space for books, a plant, or a spare candle.

It sits comfortably alongside other Kensington glass and iron pieces for a cohesive living room scheme, or it can hold its own as a singular object in a more eclectic space where it offers a note of polish without demanding that everything else match.
