Color, Held in Form

Sculptural geometry and a high-gloss lacquer finish turn this compact stool into something closer to a collectible object than traditional seating. The stacked silhouette balances cylindrical volume with sharp faceted transitions, creating a form that shifts visually from every angle.

• High-gloss lacquer finish
• Molded fiberglass construction
• Sculptural stacked silhouette
• Functions as seating or accent table
• Available in two heights

Materials

Fiberglass Shell
Constructed from molded fiberglass for a seamless monolithic form with crisp edges and smooth curvature throughout. Lightweight relative to stone or cast concrete while still maintaining a substantial feel.

High-Gloss Lacquer Finish
Finished in a polished lacquer coating that amplifies the geometry through reflection and depth. The glossy surface catches changing light throughout the day, emphasizing the stool’s sculptural profile.

Design

Influenced by postmodern Italian design and late-20th-century collectible furniture, the silhouette combines exaggerated geometric stacking with a highly saturated lacquer finish. The faceted central form creates tension between softness and precision, allowing the piece to function equally well as seating, pedestal, or sculptural side table.

Its compact footprint makes it especially versatile beside lounge chairs, sofas, or beds, while the high-gloss finish gives the piece a distinctly gallery-like presence.

Questions About The Obel Side Table

How long until I receive my order?

The Obel Side Table arrives approximately 5-7 Weeks from the day of order.

Our products take longer to arrive than most others on the internet. But there's a good reason why. Most of our pieces are made to order and ship directly from the source. We don’t keep warehouses or carry excess inventory. This is how we cut costs and pass thousands in savings back to you. But it also means you have to wait a bit longer.

What is your return policy

The Obel Side Table can be returned after receiving the order only if the product is damaged or unusable.

Our products are made to order. So we cannot offer returns for changes in preference. But we always do what we can to make it right.

To be returned, products need to be completely unused and still in their original packaging.

How can I track my order?

The Obel Side Table ships within 5-7 Days of order placement.

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email with tracking details, allowing you to monitor its progress. Simply use the provided tracking information on our delivery partner’s website to stay updated on your shipment.

Judge us by our looks

Our packaging is safe, simple, and proudly no frills. We don't think it makes sense to pay for things you throw away immediately.

That's why the Obel Side Table ships in the same protective packaging the manufacturer uses, covered in functional stickers and foreign stamps showing the journey it's been on.

We don't hide it and wear it as a badge of honor for the places our products have been and the people who made them.
