Named after the French novelist Honoré de Balzac, this is an elegant, mid Century style side table, topped with fir wood and with a soft gilt frame and legs for added glamour. It expresses the chic style of Parisian life, but, as Balzac the writer reminds us, gritty reality is just as significant. The design of this side table is as much about absence and the space in between, as about the stylish exterior.
