BH | Studio Deià Cane-Top Drum Side Table

The drum table, a round top on a solid cylindrical body, began as a Georgian library piece, often fitted with drawers around the rim for papers. Its woven top speaks to a tradition the Mediterranean knows well: on Mallorca, the island Deià looks out from, craftspeople have plaited the leaves of the native dwarf palm into baskets and mats for centuries. Cane under glass brings that island texture into the house.

It is a compact drum of solid wood faced in a figured hardwood veneer, its grain running in long warm streaks down the sides. The top is woven cane set beneath tempered glass, so it shows off the texture yet takes a cup of coffee or a wet glass and wipes dry in a moment. It stands on non-marking pads, carries up to 50 lbs and comes fully assembled. Its small round footprint suits tight corners.

Stand it beside a reading chair in the living room with a lamp and a stack of library books, at a bedside as a round nightstand, or in a hallway as a plant stand with a trailing pothos. It fits small apartments where a square table would crowd the walkway. Warm wood and cane suit whitewashed walls, rush matting and a striped cotton throw, the look of a seaside cottage.
