High Point: Layered Coffee Tables

You expect nesting side tables but at High Point I noticed layered coffee tables. These are from Dwell Studio. They offer visual interest with their varied height and extra surface area for both a tablescape and empty space for setting down wine glasses or plates - who doesn't need that during a party! (That's Christian of Maison 21 and Ashlina of the The Decorista reflected in the mirror. It was great fun to meet them.)
If you look closely you'll notice there are 3 tables (above).
These clean lined layered tables are from Drexel Heritage.

Although I didn't see these layered tables at the Oly Studio High Point showroom, they are featured in an ad in this month's Elle Decor.

I like the idea of layered coffee/cocktail tables - do you?

    I think the Oly tables look the best here. They seem to have the prettiest proportion...very elegant. I do love the functionality of all of these.

    I passed on a link to this blog to my niece at Drexel who loved knowing they are being talked about in these quarters. You became the topic of a morning email. They are pleased that you like their product.

    I really like the Oly table and had hoped to put something like that in my living room but I think I'll just go with two small side-by-side tables.
    I have seen an ottoman doubling as the second "table" and sliding under the actual table.
