Upcycled Fan Guard Tables

The 'Veta' Side Table Makes Use of an Unlikely Material

— September 14, 2019 — Art & Design
The 'Veta' side table is a whimsical furniture creation by Arnaud Sarteur that creates a bold statement, while also offering an open-concept way to keep additional decor items on display.

The table is designed using an upcycled fan guard in a variety of color options that transform the furniture piece into a focal point in a space. The interior of the fan guard offers storage space for essentials or as a way to create a mini diorama for displaying any kind of scene desired. The unit can be used in a living space as a proper side table or even as a nightstand to keep small essentials nearby.

The 'Veta' side table has an unorthodox aesthetic that's industrial and eco-chic to address the increased acceptance of upcycled decor in modern living spaces.
