We featured it because mid-century modern pieces with this level of craft—solid rubber wood, brass accents, and properly tufted leather—tend to anchor a room without demanding it. The cognac leather and pencil legs give it that iconic 1960s silhouette that reads both refined and approachable. Use it as a footrest in a paired seating arrangement, or float it solo as a low-profile side table in a smaller living room. Cognac leather will develop a natural patina over time; occasional conditioning keeps it supple. Works especially well in rooms with warm wood tones or brass fixtures.
