This modular table and chair set by Forestalgia combines smart storage with sculptural appeal. Named Modular 001, the set includes a glass tabletop with three curved chairs and a bench, all upholstered in vegan suede. Each piece nests into a circle when not in use, ideal for small living rooms or multi-use studios. “The intention was to create a bring-people-together set,” says the designer, referring to the layout’s social focus. It’s compact, efficient, and surprisingly luxurious in material feel.
The center of the table houses a speaker powered by a rechargeable battery, offering soft, all-around audio. A ring of ambient lighting at the base adds mood, making it functional during both day and night. Built from British-sourced materials and hand-assembled in London, it’s a thoughtful blend of tech and design. Modular 001 elevates everyday furniture by merging style, purpose, and surprise into one unified form.
