Beetle-Inspired Side Tables

The 'Elytra' Table by Radhika Dhumal Fans Out for Additional Space

The 'Elytra' table is the design work of Radhika Dhumal as a charming new take on the humble side table that would work to provide enhanced capabilities at home, indoors or out. The table features a beetle-inspired design that is achieved using wood materials and is capable of being expanded when desired to offer additional storage space on the top. This mimics the look of a beetle opening its wings to take flight in order to create a stylish and graceful aesthetic that will look right at home in any space.

The 'Elytra' table features glass inlays for the wings that won't create too much added visual clutter and helps to add a touch of whimsy to the otherwise sturdy timber furniture piece.
