Lichen low table
Brooklyn design shop-studio Lichen has been producing pared-back, low-profile tables for quite some time, and the newest iteration comes courtesy of carpenter Dylan Ahern, handmade from sapele—in a gorgeous dark red-brown shade—with contrasting red oak legs. The wood table is only seven inches tall, making it perfect for a low-to-ground coffee table or a storage surface to display objects.

In 1960, Norwegian designer Torbjørn Afdal partnered with manufacturer Bruksbo to produce this highly crafted lounge chair set.

This vintage set (sans armrests) comes in perfectly weathered dark cognac leather.
