No.19 is a unique side table that was designed by Studio Pascal Howe for ACME SUPPLiES.
The side table is composed of various geometrical shapes. The designer Pascal Howe's creation is more a form that has function, than function which has a shape. No.19 does not immediately reveal its function; there is no front, no back, no left or right. The user has to find his own special use that is not dictated by the side table itself.
Nevertheless, the height of the horizontal tabletop is high enough to place the side table very close to most beds or couches. Its vertical bar serves books, magazines, vinyl or whatever else you might prefer. Of all drafts, this side table is the 19th design -- this is where its name comes from.
