Ueno by Takashi Shinozaki
Takashi Shinozaki designed the Ueno table set with maximum versatility and minimal fuss in mind. These stunning tables are fine examples of the beauty of design that combines multi-functionality with good looks.
Each table is made of lengths of bent, tubular steel forming a rectangular framework that's modern and minimalist. Laminated plywood bends gracefully around one side, giving you a smooth top and one closed side with the other sides open. The effect is airy and substantial at the same time. You can choose from a variety of laminated finishes: bright white lacquer, black lacquer, dark walnut, blanched oak or stainless steel laminates mean these will fit into any décor beautifully.
Need a low side table with lots of surface area for setting drinks? The Ueno table is perfect. If you need something a bit higher and slimmer, simply turn your Ueno onto another side and you have a taller table with a slimmer profile that will tuck sleekly into the smallest corner.
The proportions are ideal at
17 ¾" x 13 ¾" x 16"
What makes this set of end tables so special is the many ways each table can be used. Actually, they aren't really tables at all - if you don't want them to be. The design makes these spare little tables perfect as tables, shelves or stools depending on where you put them and how you use them. The stainless steel tubing and thick laminate board assure you that they are strong enough to hold any visitor's weight when he reaches for an Ueno stool.
The Ueno tables come in sets of two. Whether you choose to use them as matching end tables or break up the set for one low end table and a complimentary tall stool, these are beautiful multi-function pieces. Even better, they nest together – consider getting a few extras. You can stack them together as one piece in your apartment, and then break the individual pieces apart for additional seating or display when needed. Seldom do you find such compact versatility with such striking, clean lines.
