6.13 Round Side Table with Basket

The 6.13 is a round side table in warm taupe metal with a built-in basket at its base — a cantilevered top for the cup and the current book, and an open holder below for the three you'll read next. It reaches over the sofa's edge on a single flat stem, so the surface lands beside you rather than a stretch away. A small table with a librarian's instinct.Design & CharacterThe composition stacks three curves: an oval plate at the floor, a rounded top floating above, and between them the open cylinder of the basket, cradled where the stem meets the base. Unlike hard-edged minimal tables, the 6.13 runs warm — its soft grey-taupe tone and rounded geometry belong with linen sofas and afternoon light. The basket is not an accessory; it is half the design.Materials & FinishThe composition stacks three curves: an oval plate at the floor, a rounded top floating above, and between them the open cylinder of the basket, cradled where the stem meets the base. Unlike hard-edged minimal tables, the 6.13 runs warm — its soft grey-taupe tone and rounded geometry belong with linen sofas and afternoon light. The basket is not an accessory; it is half the design.Materials & FinishMetal throughout, in a matte warm-taupe finish that shifts between grey and bronze as daylight moves. The surfaces are smooth and seamless, the basket walls thin and precise, and the weighted base keeps the overhanging top firm. It is a finish chosen to blend with natural textures — rattan, linen, jute — rather than interrupt them.Beside the Sofa, Built Around ReadingThis is the table for the arm of the sofa where evenings actually happen. The top slides in close for tea and glasses; the basket keeps books and magazines standing spine-up, off the floor and out of the center table's clutter. It serves the same way beside a bed or an armchair — surface above, small library below, footprint no larger than a dinner plate.Styling & PairingLet it live against soft, pale seating, where the taupe registers as warmth rather than shadow — cream boucle, oat linen, a woven rug beneath. Keep the top to two objects and let the basket carry the visual interest. In a room with black-framed pieces it acts as the softening note; beside timber it reads almost mineral.Why This PieceMost side tables hold what you're using; this one also holds what you're saving for later. It suits readers, tea-drinkers, and rooms where the sofa is the address after eight o'clock. The over-the-edge reach and the basket's proportions are best judged beside a real sofa — try it at a showroom before deciding.
