The Ellis Cocktail Table from Bernhardt displays asymmetrical modern design through its unique mix of materials and geometric forms. White oak veneers in Tamarind finish form the rectangular case, while an inset box in Jicama finish provides tonal contrast. A heavily textured cast aluminum band wraps dramatically around one corner, introducing a metallic accent against the wood surfaces. Non-marring heavy-duty casters enable mobility while the plinth base maintains stability. This creative approach pushes contemporary rustic boundaries by combining unexpected materials.
