Here's an example of furniture that is very minimalist yet intriguing. The FIL side table takes design to the next level without being overwhelming. Although its [simple glass top and metal base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modulo-collection) is rather unassuming, the detailed legs give it an interesting feel that will surely make guests look twice.

Created by Italian designer Paolo Cappello, the FIL side table was made for the manufacturer Miniforms. Available in two versions, the table has a base that can be purchased in either [white or red](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runda-tables). Considering its simplicity, the FIL side table will surely fit into just about any home nicely.
