"Style Files" image from House and Home Magazine - Jan/10. Other images from thout.ca.
January's issue of Canadian House and Home features a wealth of trends happening right now and included in the list from one of my favourite departments of the magazine, Style Files, is "spooled furniture". I've gathered a few images of some other examples of ornamental legged furniture as well and samples of how they have been incorporated into different room settings. I'm loving these pieces which work with many different design influences, from modern, rustic to asian.
Above: Inspired both from design masters and grandmother's, Canadian-based Thout has created this Old School Table using a contemporary top resting upon curvaceous, classic legs to form a design of contrast. The finish provides a bold flash of colour without obscuring the grain. Available in red, black and white.

TROLLSTA table, Ikea. Removable tray (steel) with solid birch underframe designed by Wiebke Braasch. An easy and affordable find to add the look in any room.
Spooled furniture like this can easily be found in local vintage/antique shops, find one that needs a little fixing up (add some black paint) and voila, instant look of the moment for less!

Somewhat beside the point, but do you know where those produce prints came from?
I just saw the Ikea version last weekend, and it immediately caught my eye! What a darling little thing!
