Mingle offers a small space that can be shared with friends or family members.
The body of the side table is crafted from a combination of plywood and solid red oak, giving it a sturdy yet stylish appearance. For the cushions, memory foam is used for comfort, while felt covers provide a soft, tactile surface. This design not only saves space but also adds a touch of practical elegance to any small living area, perfect for those who love to host but are limited by space constraints.
“Mingle” can be easily lifted and moved around in your space, and cushions can be moved in and out easily.

To feel softer in the space, I decided to cylinder as the main form. And I decided to develop on this one for the more sophisticated edges.
I like this one so I may make it into a children's furniture project in the future :D
