Oberon End Table

The Oberon End Table, conceived by Barbara Barry for Baker Furniture, announces itself through the quiet authority of its smoked brass base — a finish that absorbs light rather than competing with it, lending the piece a grounded, almost architectural composure. Barry's characteristic restraint is evident in the silhouette, where proportion and line do the work that ornament so often overreaches to accomplish. It is the kind of table that settles into a room as though it always belonged there, equally at home beside a linen-slipcovered sofa or a lacquered chest of considerable provenance.
