Designer Hyeonil Jeong introduces a look at the new B HOLD side table design concept as it boasts a brutalist design language that has multifunctional properties. At a quick glance, it has a minimal look and the base of the table is seemingly made from concrete in the shape of a cylinder.
It is then complete with a tabletop, which is actually made from two pieces of metal that are connected at an angle. One creates a flat and horizontal surface for a traditional table surface and the other is angled at the bottom. This is meant to stack books or magazines and is actually inspired by the look of book stands and magazine racks.
