Twist Occasional Tables

The Twist Occasional Tables were selected by Heal’s for Heal’s Discovers 2011.
This modular design by Kirsty Whyte, puts a fresh spin on the classic space saving concept. The solid oak tables with white powder-coated aluminium legs swivel round to form an interconnected chain. They can also be pulled apart and used separately. One leg of the smaller tables is tubular so the leg of the larger table slides into it.

Manufacturer: HEAL'S (United Kingdom)
Inspired By: Modular living
Material: Oak and Powdercoated Steel
Dimension: Largest table diameter 720 x 450mm

This modular candlestick designed exclusively for Heal's by London based designer Kirsty Whyte allows you to assemble your own customised centrepiece by building up several of the holders.
