Our wooden furniture is offered in two different types – natural wood veneers and solid wood – equal in beauty and with only minor differences in look and durability. Wood veneers are made from thin sheets of natural wood that are applied to a base of MDF, plywood or chipboard, giving the surface the appearance of solid wood. The final product is then varnished with polyurethane for a durable, easy-care finish and to prevent spills damaging the surface and underlying design. Wood veneer furniture uses less wood than its solid counterparts, making it a more affordable option. Furthermore, wood veneers are less prone to splintering and warping that can result from a solid wood design.

As relevant today as it was when first designed by Arthur Umanoff in the 1950s, the reissued Umanoff Side Table balances walnut and brass on its rounded top and tripod-inspired frame to create a table that challenges convention. Despite its decidedly small footprint, the versatile piece makes a big impact as a mid-century modern design for piles of books, mugs of coffee or flower-filled vases. The Umanoff Side Table is available in two sizes.
ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Arthur Umanoff
Arthur Umanoff (1923–1985) was an American industrial designer known for his influential role in the midcentury modern movement. After studying at Pratt Institute and the American School of Design, he began working with Post Modern Ltd in the 1950s, and later collaborated with Shaver Howard and Howard Miller. Umanoff believed design should be beautiful, functional, and accessible. He used natural materials like wrought iron, rattan, walnut, and birch to craft stylish, inviting furniture with clean, tapered lines, clever details, and a timeless, understated elegance.
