Hide side table, sulfur yellow

The Hide side table by Hem, in all its simplicity, is a surprisingly versatile piece of furniture. Designed by Karoline Fesser, the round metal side table hides shelves that can be used for both concealing and displaying items, depending on where and how you place the table. Best of all, the table has wheels – if you suddenly feel the urge to change things up a bit, you can easily move the table around either to where you actually need it or where you might fancy it at that particular moment.

The Hide table can be positioned, for example, under a desk as storage furniture for office supplies, or as a side table in a corner of the room, with shelves facing the wall, so that the items inside it remain hidden from view. If you look at it from a less functional angle, the table can serve as an elegant stand for works of art or a lush bouquet of flowers. The side table also makes a great nightstand for the bedroom.
