This simple, utilitarian side table from Puebco adds sustainable beauty to any room. It can be used as a pedestal to display plants or other items or be used to keep drinks and the remote within reach. 

"We designed these tables for sculptures out of vintage teak wood. By placing the displayable item 'on the stage' it is perfect for drawing attention to thing that normally would not get any attention otherwise. We did not created just a table. These products materialized from the idea that they carry the potential of increasing the value of the displayed item, even if the item is 'worthless.'"

TEAK SERIES

"Known for being sturdy and durable, this noble wood, teak, has been used to make ships, buildings, furniture and other things for a long time. The word “teak” is said to originate from the language of the Kerala state in southern India, “thekku” in the Malayalam language, and India has been known worldwide as a teak production center. However, year after year, the natural teak forest has decreased and felling and export are currently prohibited in India. This recycled wood series, mirrors, coat racks and other products, made from teak wood, was born in a city where handcrafting is popular in the province of Rajasthan in the northwest. Furniture factories there gather scrap wood from buildings that have been demolished all over India. The teak wood which had become difficult to acquire is now readily available as recycled waste material here. Although we could make the wood appear new by sanding down the surface, we dare to leave the beautiful and weathered texture as the finished product."
