4. The Matte Black Nesting Trio
Nesting tables provide incredible flexibility, which is a fundamental tenet of modern contemporary living. A set of three matte black, geometric nesting tables allows you to expand your surface space when guests arrive and tuck them away when you need the floor room back.
How to Make
Choose nesting tables with interesting, varied shapes—perhaps one triangle, one square, and one circle—but keep the material and color identical (matte black powder-coated steel is excellent for this). This creates a cohesive look that is visually stimulating. When separated, they create a cascading, multi-level arrangement that looks like a modern art installation. They are perfect for small-to-medium rooms where you want a “layered” look that doesn’t feel permanent.
Things Needed
- Set of three nesting tables (matte black)
- Measuring tape (to plan the layout)
- Soft cloth for dusting
- Minimalist decorative objects of varying heights
