Article summary
Read the relationship to the seating
Consider the sofa arrangement, circulation and the objects the table needs to hold. Scale is relational: a pleasing shape on its own may not be the right fit for the room.
Look closely at the surface and edges
Ask for samples and clarify the finish, edge treatment and intended care. Stone, timber and metal offer different tactile and practical qualities.
Review the base as carefully as the top
Stability, support and floor contact belong in the technical review. A sculptural concept needs a feasible structural solution before it becomes a production proposal.
This guide outlines useful questions for a bespoke brief. Execution remains subject to project measurement, specifications and written approvals.

Frequently asked questions
Does a visual reference establish the final material?
No. The final material and finish require samples and a documented specification.
Can the shape be adapted?
Adaptation is discussed against the room and technical brief, subject to scope and fabrication approval.
