In order to protect the ground and the bottom of the table from wear and tear, there is a round protective pad under the table base.
6. Missed daybed< /h2>
This is a daybed called "Missed". Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a bed. Michael Marriott designed this "miss out" as a way for people to spend their free and relaxing time throughout the day. The cuboid-shaped pillow is handmade and filled with feathers. The pillow is fixed to the black leather strap on the bed, and this strap has a Velcro strap. Of course, you can't see it in the photo, because the buckle is under the bed, so the position of the strap can be adjusted. .

Tom Tom and Tam Tam are both works by designer Konstantin Grcic. The steel bases of these two adjustable tables are sprayed with a layer of chocolate-colored paint, and the supports are made of beech wood. Parts are also painted with a layer of matt paint, and the MDF, that is, the tabletop, also has a layer of light green or purple paint.

The upper seat cushions are filled with natural fibers, animal hair and wool leather.
10. Elmer three-seat sofa
Looking at this picture, everyone will probably make the same judgment as the design addict: this is a very soft sofa.
