Felted Wool Stones and Stylish Decor Inspired by Natural Rock

Collecting stones is something most of us have indulged in at some point or another. As kids, many of us might have spent endless hours walking along that rocky and sandy coastline trying to pick the most beautiful, colorful and smooth little rocks we can get our hands on. A camping trip in the woods or a trip to the nearby creek also involves similar memories. While some of us polished the rocks with sandpaper, others used the more fancy rock polishers. Modern designers inspired by nature and its many rocky wonders, have replicated the aura of a natural stone with various artificial materials.

Stones weathered, shaped and smoothened out by the elements have a magnetic charm of their own. Much like an old and battle-hardened veteran, they tell a great story!

The lacquered resin table is perfect for both indoors and outdoors and is also available as a cocktail table. Coming in several different finishes, it is the glossy black that seems to pack quite a punch aesthetically!

The curvy design of the table inspired by the weathered river stone is a wonderful example of designers translating a simple and efficient natural design into a lovely product. Adding geometric contrast to contemporary spaces clad in clean straight lines, the Rive Stone Table is both dramatic and trendy.
