Front of House: Entryway Tables

Studio Kallang’s Coklat Side Table is crafted in solid teak and sungkai wood, with a checkerboard facade that gives the piece its rhythm. The pattern introduces a familiar note, referencing mid-century and modernist forms without feeling fixed in either. In this XL variation, the added height and width give it more presence, allowing it to function easily as an entryway table.

This Martini Table plays with contrast, an organic, lightweight form set against the durability of resin. As an entryway table, it works well in smaller spaces, offering a compact surface without adding visual weight. In areas with natural light, the amber resin becomes more pronounced, catching light throughout the day and giving the piece a warm, shifting presence.

Teun Zwets’ Splitted cabinet is built from Douglas fir beams split by hand, then reassembled into a functional form. The raw joins and irregular surfaces remain visible, while a high-gloss lacquer brings out depth and color. It offers both storage and unique presence, working especially well in smaller spaces. The option to finish it in color adds a strong visual note.

The Orta Console by Nitush and Aroosh draws from the landscape of Orta San Giulio, translating hills and bridges into a single, continuous form. Stainless steel is shaped into an undulating structure, with a tinted glass top emerging from within it. Perfect as an entryway table, it introduces a strong architectural presence without feeling heavy.

Odditi’s ‘Dwayne Johnson’ side table builds on the idea of stacked forms, shaped into a totem-like structure. Hand-sculpted petrified wood elements are layered with a raw slice at the top, each one carrying its own variation in color and pattern. In an entryway, it works as a compact focal point, where the natural surface and vertical structure draw attention without needing much around it.

Stack is a modular system built from a limited set of aluminum components that click together without screws. The structure stays simple, allowing it to shift between formats, cabinet, shelf, or table, depending on how it is assembled. Placed near the entrance, it offers both surface and storage in one, adjusting easily as needs change. Its flexibility suits spaces where layout and use are still evolving.

The Trace Table by Calen Knauf is formed by soaking vellum paper in epoxy resin, allowing the material to shape itself through absorption. The result is a lighter, more delicate form, with each piece holding slight variation in surface and structure. Despite its thin profile, it remains structurally strong. As an entryway table, it works as a subtle surface, where light passes through the material and gives the piece a softer, more atmospheric quality.

The BLEO Pedestal by Daniel Couttolenc builds its form through spheres and half-spheres, creating a balanced, rounded structure guided by the golden ratio. The geometry stays clear, giving the piece a steady, composed feel. Made in solid oak with a cream tint wash, it reads as both functional and sculptural. Near an entrance, it works well as a pedestal surface, holding a vase or catchall while maintaining a strong, grounded form.

The Sentinels Carmen bar cart is shaped through carved huanacaxtle wood and hand-turned metal details, bringing together ornament and structure. The surfaces carry a sense of handwork, with texture and pattern built into each element. Placed near the entrance, it works as both storage and display, holding everyday items or objects with a bit more intention.

DUK by Studio Tooj reads at first like a piece of draped fabric, caught mid-fall. The illusion holds until you move closer and register the structure beneath it. Formed in Reishi, a mycelium-based material, the surface carries subtle variations that reinforce the effect. In smaller spaces, it works especially well, offering a functional surface without adding visual weight.

The ITA console by PROSA draws from Brazilian coastal stones, with a form that feels worn and shaped over time. Soft, rounded edges and a curved drawer module give it a fluid, organic structure. Wall-mounted, it keeps the floor clear while still offering storage and surface. The shape brings a natural, softened quality into the entrance, without adding visual heaviness.

Haptic is formed from a single quarter-sawn oak plank, cut, surfaced, and reassembled into a continuous waterfall console. The surface draws from the rhythm of corrugated metal, translated into wood with a more tactile, natural finish. As an entryway table, it offers a long, uninterrupted surface, with a subtle pattern that guides the eye across it.

This credenza by Alexander Knysch Studio is shaped by hand, allowing the natural grain of white oak to guide the form. The door sits seamlessly within the structure, while clay handles and inlays, finished with a blue glaze, introduce a subtle contrast. Near the entrance, it offers both storage and surface in one piece, keeping everyday items out of sight while still giving space for display.

This limited-edition piece by LMNOH pairs a raw aluminum body with a thick cast glass top, held in place by sculptural “paws.” The structure feels grounded, while the glass adds weight and clarity above. As an entryway table, it brings a more playful, material-led approach, offering a durable surface with a strong, defined character.

This mobile bar cart by NAVE is constructed from 3mm stainless steel, with bent and welded panels forming a clean, geometric frame. The open central section keeps it accessible, while the solid sides give it weight and structure. The untreated steel surface reflects light while retaining its natural variation. In an entryway, it introduces a more industrial note, with the added flexibility of movement and storage built into the design.

The JNK330 Console brings together a matte stainless steel structure with exposed fasteners, placing construction at the forefront. The modular openings create a strong rhythm across the surface, shifting as light moves across it With multiple configurations and material options, it adapts easily to different layouts. As an entryway table, it provides both structure and storage, with a clear, architectural edge.

The Bright Side Table combines light and surface in a single, continuous form, functioning as both a lamp and a table. Its cordless, rechargeable design allows you to place it freely, without relying on fixed outlets. Near the entrance, it adds both illumination and function in one compact piece. The minimalist lines and soft glow bring clarity to the space, while color and mirrored variations let you tailor the setup.

The Hotel Console by am.o atelier brings together solid imbuia wood and a clean, structured form. The grain stays visible across the surface, adding warmth against the more defined lines of the piece. It sets a composed tone from the outset. The proportions feel measured, while the material keeps it grounded, with natural variation in tone and texture across each piece.

The Transformational Console maps movement through its surface. A brass top, cast from a wood and rope assembly, holds a pattern of drilled paths, some continuing, others stopping or shifting direction. A charred teak base supports the form, its grain brought forward through brushing. Placed at the front of a space, it offers a defined surface while introducing a more layered, narrative quality through material and structure.
