Nanook Side Table
Made by Moroso
Designed by Philippe Bestenheider
Philippe Bestenheider designed the Nanook Side Table for Moroso in 2008, distilling a clear idea about structure into a single, composed object. A flat sheet steel top sits on tubular steel legs arranged with the kind of geometric confidence that reads from across a room without demanding attention.
The silhouette is disciplined and compact. Finish choices between powder coat and polished gold chrome allow the piece to read differently depending on context, from quiet and architectural to warm and assertive. Both options retain the underlying clarity of the form.

- Available in powder coat or polished gold chrome finish

Bestenheider, Swiss-born and trained across design capitals in Europe, has developed a body of work defined by precision and restraint. Nanook reflects that sensibility: a piece that earns its place through proportion rather than ornament.
