This is Block, our new table launched earlier this year. It is a mobile side table on wheels designed by Simon Legald who is also behind the Toj Clothes Rack, The Onkel Sofa and the Sumo Pouf.

Block was inspired by the well-known tray table. It is a versatile piece of furniture with a light and airy expression and many different uses in the home.

The table has a rectangular shape and is easily moved around using one of its four handles, which are natural extensions of the legs. Block has no specific direction and can be used from all four sides. This makes Block highly functional for multiple uses, including as a side table, tea table, coffee table and bedside table.

Simon Legald explains: “For me, designing is a game between craftsmanship and industry, and both elements need to come together. Block is a simplification and modernisation of the well-known tray table. It is a side table with wheels and an alternative to the traditional coffee table.”

The Block side table will be available from August 2012 in mint green, light grey and dark grey.
