MERTON Side Table
A circular solid wood side table defined by a round tabletop and a grounded, architectural pedestal base.
Design & Presence
The Merton Side Table takes inspiration from the familiar shape of a decorative vase, turning it into a functional piece of furniture.
Its most distinctive feature is the sculpted pedestal. A rounded lower section gradually narrows at the centre before widening again beneath the circular tabletop. A subtle band around the narrowest point adds a small detail that draws attention to its shape.
The circular top provides enough space for a book, a cup of coffee or a decorative object. Its compact proportions make it particularly suitable beside a lounge chair or sofa, keeping everyday essentials within easy reach without occupying too much floor space.
Unlike conventional side tables with straight legs, Merton has the presence of a decorative object. Even when nothing is placed on top, its silhouette gives the surrounding space something interesting to look at.
Made to order in Malaysia by NICCHRIS, the Merton Side Table combines an expressive pedestal design with everyday practicality.

Cohesive Interior Curation
Merton is proportioned to accompany occasional armchairs, deep modular sectionals, and bedside arrangements. Consider pairing it with these complementary workshop pieces:
Vin Lounge Chair
The curved solid wood frame and arched backrest of the Vin Lounge Chair complement the circular tabletop and rounded base of the Merton Side Table. Positioned beside the chair, the table provides an accessible, durable surface for books and drinks while echoing its authentic solid wood craftsmanship.
Cadiar Modular Sofa
The deep, generous cushions and low seating datum of the Cadiar Modular Sofa provide an expansive foundation for central living rooms. Placing the compact Merton table at the sofa return introduces warm solid wood grain and functional tabletop utility without cluttering circulation pathways.
