Versatile Ebonised Oak Bobbin What-not Table By Alfred Newall Collection [fkEvQlxH]

An oak side table with bobbin legs and circular tiers.The two-tiered table has three bobbin legs. The three-tiered table has four bobbin legs.

A contemporary take on 17th century "spool" furniture, combining an antique appeal with a modern and playful aesthetic. The what-not table is perfect as an incidental piece of furniture, offering space for books as a feature side table as well as a low side table. For a complimentary aesthetic, add a bobbin lamp base too.

The bobbin components are hand-turned on a traditional wood lathe, simultaneously spinning and shaping; it begins square and through careful use of a chisel, the sequence of bobbin rounds are formed. Each piece is unique and celebrates the individual grain patterns found in the timber.
