Squirrel & Owl “Tree” Coffee Table

Lindsay ~ 10 June 2007

Some people like sleek serious furniture, and some people don’t.

If you fall into the latter camp, then this tree coffee table is sure to appeal to your sense of whimsy. The base is carved into the shape of a tree with differing silhouettes, depending on which side you’re looking at it from. One edge has a squirrel running up the side, while another features a knothole with an inquisitive owl peering out. The surface of the table itself, though flat, borrows from the billowy imagery of a tree top.

This is a fun piece for a children’s room, but if you don’t take yourself too seriously, it could squat by your couch in the living room too.
