The 'Nessie' side table has been designed by Deniz Aktay as a folklore-inspired furniture piece for the modern home that doesn't skimp when it comes to functionality. The table features a simple construction achieved with wood and has an almost slithering body movement appearance that swoops forward to provide a small platform for placing drinks or decor pieces. The creature-like design of the side table is inspired by the Loch Ness monster, but takes a subtle approach that wouldn't otherwise be noticed by an onlooker.
The 'Nessie' side table also features a triangular base for placing books or magazines, which keeps them both on display and acts as a bookmark. The simple yet elegant table is kept balanced thanks to a counterweight in the rear to prevent toppling.
