It’s great to see this product in the pages of the latest Elle Decoration magazine. Art Director Anna Loubser credits the nested tables as being “witty in design but simple in concept” and adds that “the individual tables are beautiful even on their own”.
This playful nest of side tables was a collaboration between Joom’s creative head Justin Plunkett and leading designer John Vogel. Each individual table is in the shape of a petal, with a grouping forming a full flower.
Look out for the article on page 57 of the September/October issue of Elle Decoration in South Africa.
