New Works 'Florence Side Table Ø50'—Clean Contrast Created by Marble Tabletop and Angular Steel Frame

How a Small Table Organizes the Tone of a Space

A side table is a piece of furniture where 'character' is read before area. The Florence Side Table Ø50 treats the circular tabletop and geometrically angled frame as a single piece, designed so that its function doesn't become excessive whether placed between the living room and bedroom. In particular, the natural stone tabletop's pattern creates a different impression each time within the same form, becoming a vessel that accepts both objects and everyday items.

New Works' 'Material-Centric' Scandinavian Sensibility

New Works, based in Copenhagen, is a design house founded in 2015 by Nikolaj Meier and Knut Bendik Humlevik. The brand has presented as core values an attitude that respects the inherent properties of materials like marble and oak, and a direction that doesn't hide rough texture and process. The Florence table line is a close example of translating that declaration into a 'small structure in the living room.' You can check the founding background and values (material, experiment, tactility, and craftsmanship) at New Works introduction.

Background of Florence Side Table: Ø50 as a 'Miniature' of the Collection

In multiple retail and archive documents, the Florence Side Table is grouped in the Florence series and introduced as a 2017 design. ([nordicnest.com](https://www.nordicnest.com/brands/new-works/florence-side-table/?utm_source=openai)) Additionally, designer attribution is often mentioned as 'New Works Studio' or as studio work including creative direction, so it's safer to read it in the language of the brand studio rather than as a single author's work. ([royaldesign.com](https://royaldesign.com/at/florence-side-table-50-cm?utm_source=openai)) Ultimately, the purpose of this product is not 'auxiliary furniture' but rather a small platform that clearly shows the relationship between material (marble) and line (steel frame) next to the sofa.

Form, Structure, and Usage Experience: Round Tabletop, Angled Legs, and 'Negative Space'

The most striking element is the contrast. The tabletop is finished in a circular form to minimize edges where the hand and eye collide, while the lower portion is given tension with an angular frame. Here, the frame doesn't aim to 'appear lighter,' but rather visually reveals the structure supporting the tabletop and anchors the center. The marble tabletop has randomness in its pattern, so it doesn't impose excessive rules on object arrangement, and within a diameter of 50cm (Ø50), a lamp, mug, and a book or two coexist naturally. (The material is guided as a combination of marble tabletop and powder-coated steel frame.)

Installation Example: Gris du Marais Tabletop + Black Frame Combination

In the review installation example, after delivery was completed on December 1, 2025, it was set up with the Gris Du Marais Marble tabletop and Black frame option. The grey-toned grain has strong stone texture, making the tabletop itself a decoration, and the frame recedes from view, making the tabletop's character even clearer. In spaces with many tones, the approach of establishing a center with 'a single sheet of marble' proved effective.

Suitable Spaces: A Point Next to the Sofa, a Spot in the Bedroom

The Florence Side Table Ø50 is persuasive when you want to update the material quality of a space without changing large furniture. Next to a rug or fabric sofa with a strong pattern, the frame's straight lines organize the surroundings, and in a minimalist bedroom, the natural grain of the tabletop breaks up monotony. When placed alongside other Florence table pieces, the structural language continues, appearing less like a 'set' and more like furniture sharing the same grammar and vocabulary.
