A top rising above the base caps a light and airy look. Okay the top does not really float.

Only six pieces make up this table, including three curved, steam-bent legs. Two discs supported by three curved legs equals a stunning pedestal for a flower-filled vase.

If you do not care to get you feet wet in steam-bending, you can laminate the legs instead.

This table hides its unique minimalist construction. That is because the drawers do not disappear inside an enclosed carcase leaving only their fronts visible. Instead, the drawers fill in where side and back panels should be. Removing the drawers reveals a skeletal carcase of four legs joined by rails, and a top panel.
