The demilune — French for half moon — is one of the most elegant furniture forms ever devised. Flat against the wall, gently curved at the front, it occupies the minimum of floor space while delivering maximum visual impact. This small version is perfectly proportioned for a hallway, a landing or a narrow dining room wall, sitting flush and unobtrusive until you look at it properly and realise how beautifully it is made.The turned pillar legs give it a distinctly vintage character, while the two-tier design — a top surface for lamps, flowers or a drinks tray, and a lower shelf for books, baskets or decorative objects — makes it as practical as it is handsome. The warm wood finish with its subtle distressing adds depth and patina, the kind that suggests the piece has always been there. A console table that earns its place in any room it occupies.
