DIY Chic Side Tables

The Copper & Leather Weave Table is Alexander Wang-Esque

— January 11, 2014 — Art & Design
With hibernation habits settling in for those residing in the Northern Hemisphere, do-it-yourself projects such as the Copper & Leather Weave Table can be a welcomed distraction from the inevitable onset of cabin fever. Not only is it a fun project, it is also a practical one--at least for those who require some extra surfaces in the home.

Conceived by interior-design maven Emily Henderson and DIY guru Stephanie Todaro, the Copper & Leather Weave Table is made out of two materials: copper and leather, hence its name. A relatively easy creation, it involves weaving leather strips into a sturdy albeit flexible surface that is kept taut thanks to the copper framing. Very Alexander Wang-esque, it would spruce up any space.
