Its scalloped edges—inspired by the Italian word for scallop—soften what could otherwise be a utilitarian form, making it feel considered rather than purely functional. Rendered in rubbed black with painted engineered board and wood, it reads as understated and works across modern, transitional, and even maximalist interiors as a supporting player. Position it beside a sofa or armchair where its gentle curves won't compete for attention, or cluster a pair in a bedroom corner for balanced symmetry. The rubbed finish requires occasional dusting to maintain its matte depth.
