The Workshop.Chic Side Table is a modernized [studio bench](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sidekick-work-bench) that can be used in the house rather than in the garage. It may still be a practical piece of furniture, but simply in a different way. Instead of fulfilling an industrial purpose for carpenters and more, the Workshop.Chic Side Table is made for stylish uses in living spaces and offices.

Designed by Daniel Moyer, a designer and maker based in New York City, the Workshop.Chic Side Table is made out of wood. Sanded and polished, he created three models: one that is all natural wood, the second that boasts a [single white stripe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runda-tables) and the third that has been painted all white. He even collaborated with artist Todd Germann for a special edition.
