The Calibre Table with Handle, designed by Berlin-based studio Böttcher Henssler Kayser for Wendelbo, exemplifies the perfect balance between architectural precision and functional elegance. This distinctive side table features a thoughtfully integrated handle that elevates its minimalist form while adding unexpected utility to a sculptural accent piece.
Standing at 25.2 inches tall with a 12.6-inch diameter, the Calibre makes a refined statement through its harmonious proportions. Each component has been meticulously calibrated to serve its purpose – the substantial Nero Marquina marble cylindrical base provides exceptional stability and visual weight, while the sleek black powder-coated steel top offers a practical surface that appears to float above its foundation.
What truly distinguishes this version is its sophisticated handle detail, seamlessly extending from the tabletop to create a functional element that transforms the table's silhouette into something unexpectedly dynamic. This thoughtful addition allows for effortless repositioning, making it ideal for flexible living spaces where occasional furniture may need to adapt to changing arrangements.
The Calibre's restrained material palette of rich black marble and matte steel creates a versatile aesthetic that complements both contemporary and classic interiors, from minimalist apartments to curated hospitality environments. Its presence is simultaneously bold and understated – commanding attention through its exquisite materiality rather than unnecessary ornamentation.
This exceptional side table embodies Wendelbo's commitment to collaborating with visionary international designers who bring fresh perspectives to functional objects, resulting in pieces that transcend mere utility to become enduring design statements.
