What at first looks like a cute and colorful stool is actually the Tea for One Table. As its name gives away, this table is made for one. Created especially with tea time in mind, the fun piece of furniture has a recess on its surface that perfectly fits a ceramic saucer. It allows people to quirkily place a teacup or dessert on its surface without fear of dirtying it while also adding a unique decor touch.
The Tea for One Table was designed by DesignK, a studio based in the United Kingdom. Literally putting afternoon tea on a pedestal, which many already do in their hearts, the table was inspired by a bouquet of flowers. In addition to the porcelain plate, the Tea for One Table is made out of solid ash wood and fitted with colorful waxed cotton strings.
