The Arnette Cocktail Table from Bernhardt explores architectural composition through layered horizontal planes. Wire-brushed quartered oak veneers reveal linear grain patterns across the stepped surface, where a raised central platform establishes distinct zones for display, while the extended plinth base forms additional surface area at each corner. Hidden casters beneath allow for easy repositioning without disrupting the clean lines. This interplay of levels and proportions transforms the functional table into a study of geometric relationships, with rubberwood solids providing structural integrity throughout the piece.
