Two tapered blocks, one turned against the other, make the shape of this twisted hourglass side table. The surface is finished to read as weathered wood, with grain lines, end-grain rings on the top and dark patina spots, but the body is magnesium oxide, so it can sit on a covered porch as easily as beside a sofa.

Design notes
Seen straight on, the table reads as a simple hourglass; walk around it and the twist shows, each face folding into the next. That movement is why it works on its own, beside a plain armchair or at the end of a bench, without needing much on top. The finish varies from piece to piece, and the darker spots are part of it.

Size & fit
The 12.5-inch square top holds a mug, a small lamp or a plant. At 18 inches tall it sits a little below the arm of most sofas and lounge chairs, where a drink is easiest to reach. Its compact footprint suits small living rooms, bedrooms and balconies.
Materials & care
Magnesium oxide is a dense, stone-like material; this one is painted to look like wood. Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth and dry it. Outdoors, keep it under cover and bring it in during freezing weather. Use a coaster under hot or wet glasses to protect the painted finish.
