eCommerce-Friendly Side Tables

The 'Photo Table' Offers the Perfect Place to Photograph Products

— November 20, 2019 — Art & Design
The conceptual 'Photo Table' is a dual-purpose furniture solution for the home or office that will offer users the perfect place to keep decor items on display as well as a dedicated space for snapping product photos.

The table features a booth-shaped design that features a blank canvas-like interior section that is highlighted using a light fixture in the top section. This will put decor items into the spotlight, while also providing eCommerce professionals or social media influencers with a spot to photograph capture items without having to constantly setup a separate unit. The minimalist design of the unit means it can be left out in the open without looking out of place.

Designed by Zinus Inc., the conceptual 'Photo Table' is the winner of the 2019 Red Dot Design Concept Award.
