for form. The cast aluminium frames have a hammered, organic texture that reads as handcrafted, while the antique brass patina develops character over time rather than looking precious or sterile. These work beautifully in living rooms where you need flexible surface space without visual bulk; nest them tight when you need room, or separate them for layered side-table styling. Fair warning: the textured finish collects dust more readily than smooth metal, so light regular wiping keeps them looking intentional rather than neglected.
