Ande Side Table / Nooma
The Ande is a C-shaped side table cut and formed from a single sheet of powder-coated steel, designed to slide over the arm of a sofa or beside a lounge chair. The cantilevered C brings the round top out over the seating without the table needing to stand independently alongside it, keeping a surface within reach while taking almost no floor space. Because it is one continuous piece of steel, there are no joints to loosen, which lets a thin, minimal form stay genuinely rigid. At roughly 40 x 41 x 57cm and 6kg it lifts and repositions easily, arrives assembled, and comes in a range of powder-coat colours. It is the work of Warsaw studio noo.ma, designed by Anna Pietkun and Damian Goliński.
Design intent
- +The C-shaped cantilever solves a specific spatial problem, bringing a surface over a sofa arm and within reach of a seated person without occupying floor space beside the seat; the geometry is the idea, not decoration.
- +Forming the whole table from a single sheet of steel removes any joints to loosen, giving a deliberately thin, minimal form real structural rigidity.
Trade-offs
- -One-sided cantilever support sets a modest tabletop load limit, around 5kg, and makes it sensitive to weight placed near the unsupported edge; that is inherent to the form.
- -Designed to slide over seating rather than stand alone, its placement depends on the sofa or chair it accompanies; it does not work as a conventional freestanding side table.
