Gridline Metal Cube Side Table

A 35 cm metal cube reduced to line, space and proportion—part side table, part open display structure.

A Cube Drawn in Metal

The simplest geometry can create the strongest presence.

The Gridline Metal Cube Side Table takes the familiar form of a cube and removes almost everything solid from it, leaving behind a rhythmic structure of slender metal lines.

Measuring exactly 35 × 35 × 35 cm / 13.8 × 13.8 × 13.8 in, its balanced proportions allow it to sit naturally beside a sofa, lounge chair or bed.

Use the upper surface for a book, cup or small object. Allow the open structure below to hold selected pieces—or leave it almost entirely empty.

Furniture reduced to its outline.

Why This Piece

Gridline caught our attention because it creates volume without creating mass.

The dimensions describe a complete cube: 35 cm in every direction.

Yet visually, much of that cube is empty.

Instead of solid panels, a sequence of metal lines defines its boundaries. The wall, floor and surrounding interior remain visible through the structure.

This gives Gridline an unusual balance.

It has enough geometry to hold its own beside substantial furniture, yet enough openness that it does not make a smaller room feel crowded.

The furniture is there.

The visual weight is not.

Space, Defined by Lines

Look at Gridline from directly ahead and the lines establish a simple rhythm.

Move around it and those lines begin to overlap.

The pattern becomes denser.

Then lighter again.

Objects placed inside interrupt that rhythm and become framed by the metal around them.

This is what makes open furniture interesting.

The empty space is not simply the absence of material.

It is part of the design.

Gridline does not fill a 35 cm cube.

It draws one in the room.

Beside the Sofa

At 35 cm / 13.8 in high, Gridline is intentionally compact.

Place it beside a sofa or lounge chair as a small surface for the objects you want close at hand.

A book.

A cup of tea.

A small tray.

A ceramic object.

Its square footprint occupies relatively little floor space, while the open construction prevents the piece from appearing as heavy as a conventional enclosed side table.

More Than a Side Table

Side Table

Place it beside seating for books and small everyday objects.

Bedside

Use the compact cube beside a lower bed where a conventional nightstand would feel too substantial.

Display

Allow a selected object to sit within the open metal structure and become visually framed by the lines around it.

Books

A small selection of books can introduce colour and solidity against the linear metal construction.

Collected Objects

Ceramics, glass and other sculptural objects create an interesting contrast against the precision of the grid.

Modular Styling

The simple cubic geometry allows Gridline to sit naturally alongside other low furniture and architectural forms.

The Perfect Cube

Gridline measures:

35 × 35 × 35 cm
13.8 × 13.8 × 13.8 in
(L × W × H)

There is something satisfying about the equality of those dimensions.

No side dominates another.

No elongated proportion determines how the object must be viewed.

The result is a compact cube that can be approached from multiple sides and positioned according to the room around it.

Before purchasing, we recommend comparing its 35 cm / 13.8 in height with the seat or mattress beside which you intend to place it, as furniture heights can vary considerably.

Metal and Negative Space

A solid side table creates a block.

Gridline creates a boundary.

The distinction becomes particularly apparent in smaller interiors, where visual openness can matter as much as physical dimensions.

Light passes through.

Flooring remains visible.

The wall behind continues uninterrupted.

And objects placed within the structure appear almost suspended inside a geometric framework.

Its character comes as much from what is missing as from what remains.

Clarity in Form

Gridline represents another expression of the idea behind Clarity in Form.

With Lucent, transparency comes from acrylic.

With Axis, it comes from the relationship between steel and clear planes.

Here, openness is created differently.

Material is simply removed until only the lines required to describe the form remain.

A cube.

A grid.

A place for an object.

Nothing unnecessary.

How to Style It

Gridline benefits from contrast.

Place something solid against the openness of the structure.

A stack of two or three art books.

A handmade ceramic vessel.

A transparent glass object.

A small tray.

Avoid filling every part of the cube.

The lines need empty space around them for the geometry to remain visible.

One carefully placed object can often create a stronger composition than several smaller ones.

Care

Remove dust regularly with a clean, soft cloth.

Avoid abrasive cleaning materials that may damage the metal surface.

Wipe away moisture promptly and keep the piece in a dry interior environment.

When moving the table, remove objects first and lift the furniture rather than dragging it across the floor.

Follow any additional care guidance supplied with the product.

Curator's Note

The most interesting view of Gridline is not necessarily straight ahead.

Move slightly to one side.

The metal lines begin to overlap and the visual density changes completely.

That movement—from open structure to layered grid and back again—is what gives such a simple geometric object its character.

We would leave much of it empty.

The empty space is part of the piece.
