Bear Side Table with Storage

A side table shaped as a seated bear, with a hollow body that opens for storage. It is a piece of furniture that behaves like an ornament, which is exactly why it works in the corner of a living room where a plain cube would just look like a plain cube.

The storage is the part people underestimate. Remotes, chargers, a book, a pair of glasses, the small clutter that accumulates beside a sofa and has nowhere to live. Being enclosed rather than an open shelf means it stays hidden, and the top is flat and stable enough to take a mug or a lamp without wobbling.

Five finishes with very different characters. Black and white are the most restrained and read as design objects rather than novelty. Coffee is the warmest and suits a room with wood in it. Pink and green are the playful choices, best in a child's room, a nursery or a playroom. It is compact enough to move around, so it works as an occasional seat for a child, a bedside table, or a plant stand by a window. The shell wipes clean, which counts in a room where a child is involved, and the enclosed interior keeps dust off whatever is stored inside. It is not built as a seat, so keep an eye on younger children who decide to treat it as one.
