About the design
The ‘pimped up ‘design of the console table takes inspiration from London with a modern urban graphic edge and flamboyant colours. The artwork on the worktop is a diverse urban London scene produced from detailed line work with embedded Swarovski crystals. The legs have been upholstered in a monochrome velvet fabric with an accent of hot pink. The back legs have been left plain to show the form of the console.

I love the honesty of this piece. It is transformed yes but the original still shines through. The colours design and humour in the graphics make this a fabulous piece of furniture to look at yet it is still functional. I would be happy to have this in my home.

Love the design. Very London and very stylish.

Great use of materials and the tops graphics speak louder than words quiet literarily. Well done to the designer

Its pink and I want it This piece demonstrates what Natalies designs are all about - unique original with an edge of funk

from: Shelley

A design that speaks for its time as we head into a new decade. The city is shocking and colourful for many reasons.

from: Adrian

Fantastic work turning that old table into this hip funky one. That would have definitely gone in the skip. But the life has been spared and I would welcome this table in my home. If it had arms I am sure it would give you a hug for an amazing makeover. The colours brilliantly bright and fun with the Noice touch of the London landmarks.
