Side table ANIMAL two meerkats and wood-look top KARE Design

The Side table ANIMAL two meerkats and wood-look top KARE Design brings playful character to a room while still acting as a practical surface. In a living room, placed beside a fabric sofa or an accent armchair, the two upright meerkats become charming helpers, holding your mug, book or a small lamp at arm’s reach. The compact size slides easily into tight corners or between seats without feeling bulky. Its circular, irregular wood-effect top recalls a slice of tree trunk, adding a touch of nature to contemporary spaces. This side table suits interiors where you want one bold, conversation-starting piece rather than many knick-knacks. It works for adults who enjoy whimsical decor as much as for a family lounge where children will recognize the animals instantly. Whether you keep it near the seating area or move it around as needed, it quickly becomes a small, friendly landmark in everyday life.

Visual design and character

The Side table ANIMAL stages two meerkats standing tall on their hind legs, their slim bodies forming an unexpected base in place of classic table legs. Both animals raise their forepaws to support the round top, creating a vertical line that draws the eye from floor to tabletop. Their bodies are closely grouped, giving the impression of teamwork and creating a stable-looking core under the surface. The circular wood-look top has an irregular outline, as if cut directly from a rustic log, with gentle undulations that soften its profile. This organic shape contrasts with the more precise modelling of the fur, ears and muzzles sculpted in polyresin. Proportionally, the 50.5 cm height makes the top align comfortably with most sofas, while the 34 by 33 cm surface is generous enough for a lamp, glass and small decorative object without clutter.

Why choose this side table

• Playful meerkat figures transform a simple side table into a sculptural accent, instantly breaking the monotony of a straight-lined seating arrangement.
• Irregular circular wood-look top introduces natural warmth and texture, evoking a tree slice without requiring a solid timber piece.
• Convenient height around 50.5 cm makes it easy to reach your drink, book or remote when seated on a sofa or armchair.
• Compact footprint with 34 cm width and 33 cm depth fits neatly in narrow gaps between furniture or beside smaller lounge chairs.
• Distinct KARE Design personality pairs well with other statement side tables to create layered, gallery-like compositions in living spaces.

Where this table works best

Thanks to its modest footprint, the Side table ANIMAL easily finds a place where a standard coffee table would feel too imposing. Position it at the end of a sofa so the meerkats face into the room, turning them into a welcoming detail. In a compact studio, it can double as both bedside table and living room surface, simply moving it between zones. To explore combinations, browse the selection of decorative side tables and pair it with a more minimal model to balance the playful look. In a hallway, place it near a bench to hold keys and a small tray, creating a functional vignette. In a reading corner, tuck it between a floor lamp and a lounge chair, where its 50.5 cm height makes it comfortable for setting down a cup or book.

Lasting decorative coherence

To keep the Side table ANIMAL visually relevant as your interior evolves, lean into its mix of animal figure and wood-look surface. Build a palette around warm neutrals – sand, camel, soft grey – which softly echo the meerkats and make the top feel at home alongside other finishes. Combine it with woven baskets, light oak furniture or textured rugs to reinforce the natural impression without turning the room into a theme space. Over time, you can shift its role from side table to plant stand or occasional pedestal for a statement vase, while the sculptural base continues to anchor the composition. By repeating one or two materials, like faux wood and matte ceramics, the piece remains connected even if colours or artwork change. Its distinctive silhouette ensures it keeps a clear identity within new furniture layouts.
