Adding a touch of nature to the home has never been easier thanks to the Petal Table by Manulution, a Washington, DC-based subsidiary of Rukotvorine (Eng. Handcrafts) company from Bosnia and Herzegovin. As its name suggests, it is inspired by the petals of a flower.
Interpreting this aesthetic in a rather unique way, the small table is made up of three 'petals' that have been overlaid on top of each other and secured by what can only be dubbed the 'eye' of the flower. Designed by Salih Teskeredzic, it sports stunning detail on the eye as well as around the edge of each petal. The Petal Table by Manulution is available in various wood finishes including cherry, walnut and maple. Interestingly, the owner is able to add more petals if desired.
