Colorful Furniture

Let’s start with home furnishings! These SAIC Paradox Nesting Tables from CB2 were created as part of the retailer’s Design Collab program. The clever work of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) student Arianna Petrich, the nesting tables can be grouped to form one low coffee table or scattered for a trio of colorful statements throughout the room. Liquid enamel adds radiance in shades of olive, emerald and neon peach:
