It is a coffee table that can also function as a bookshelf as well. This unique design is made up of layers that are referenced in its own namesake. It features a relatively minimal design language, making it versatile to style in any space. Due to its compact, design, it is also able to be used as a [side table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turno) as well. The Overlap table is made up of two wooden boxes in a rotated look that is joined together to create a table that features [storage space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taarof-table). It has a form at the base of the table that swings the wooden box outwards to create a tabletop. The other box simply functions as a storage unit and support.
