Shuffle Side Table by Mia Hamborg

Mia_hamborg_shuffle_table_yu9q
This year Heal's celebrates 60 years of bringing us the pioneering Scandinavian design that we've come to love them for. To commemorate, this autumn they're treating us with a whole new brood of designers with concepts firmly rooted in the traditions of the modernist era.

This unique Shuffle Side Table by new Heal's designer Mia Hamborg is a real highlight of the Autumn/Winter collection. The piece is inspired by Nordic wooden turning traditions and is given a contemporary twist with the mid century-style colour palate. However, the most innovative feature is that you can actually take the table apart and rebuild the modular pieces in which ever order you'd like. It's a truly original piece that will no doubt become a modern classic.

The Shuffle Side Table is £449 from Heal's. See the website for more details.

eBay watch: Midcentury split-level side table

Table

We're all for affordable midcentury design, which this split-level side table is right now.

The picture says it all really, a late 50s / early 60s table that's laid out over two levels, offering a bit of midcentury cool to your living room.

Sadly, no details of materials or designer, but there is a condition report, which says it has 'slight wear' (a couple of faded round water stains, a small tear in the plate framing), but overall, sounds fine. Just £9 right now. Oh yes, it does come apart for shipping.
