'Toi' is a table by Salvatore Indriolo and it is proof that a piece of furniture with storage can still be aesthetically pleasing. This table melds form and function beautifully, featuring a design that is sculptural and still very practical.
The table's polyurethane frame is topped with an aluminum-clad plywood surface which is coated in a white varnish. As well, the cleverly-designed table top can fully rotate.
At a first glance, this pedestal table is quite deceptive -- it seems solid. Instead, its flat tabletop surface opens to reveal that the table has a bird bath-like shape. The design of the table makes cleaning up a breeze, helping homeowners to tuck away remote controls and other household items.
