Perhaps it’s just me, but sometimes everything I look at becomes anthropomorphic. The grille of the car has a certain smile, the teapot spout is tooting to be an elephant and those chairs and tables all seem about to walk off. It is just something about these legs.

The angled legs add life and personality to every one of these simple layouts. Whether legs or four, short or tall, thin or fat, each set of thighs provides added flair to the modern pieces they’re part of. The British are known for their book, and these designs showcase that attribute with no of those stodginess. Now, if you will excuse me, I’d better go catch the side desk running down my hallway.

Placed against a wall, this desk will give the impression that it is propped precariously, because of its angled front legs — though of course it is really quite hardy.

Acorn Side Table – GBP 395

Its small size and stocky angled legs imply this table name is Baby. It will add just a hint of childhood sitting alongside a more mature couch.
