Risom’s basic idea was to create a design that combines aesthetics and comfort. The result is a small side table with an angular silhouette and carefully thought-out cutouts that provide space for all kinds of reading material. On the small ledge, for example, newspapers, books, or magazines can be stylishly displayed, serving as a decorative element.\r\nWhether used as a coffee table in front of the sofa, in an entryway, or integrated into public spaces such as lobbies or hotels, the Risom Magazine Side Table from Fredericia fits in perfectly. The table is available in black or clear-lacquered oak.","brand":"Fredericia","offers":[{"title":"Oak, clear lacquered","offer_id":57323201233240,"sku":"163771","price":677.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oak, black lacquered","offer_id":57323201266008,"sku":"181102","price":677.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/1760\/5208\/files\/Fredericia-Risom-Magazin-Beistelltisch-Eiche-klar-lackiert-Freisteller_eb9c652d-3a20-458b-8433-cfaf8b581c4e.jpg?v=1779276880"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.connox.com\/collections\/jens-risom.oembed","provider":"Connox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
