Disco Side Table — Austins Disco Side Table - Austins

Horizontal layers of dark walnut stacked into a pedestal that reads as sculpture — beside a sofa, at a bedside, or simply as a beautiful object in a considered room.

The brief was to make a side table that you would buy for its base, not its top. The top is intentionally simple — a clean circle of polished walnut, nothing more. The base carries all the design intelligence: the stacked disc sections create deep shadow gaps between each layer that shift dramatically as the light changes through the day. The proportions were carefully calibrated so the table's visual centre of gravity sits mid-height, which is unusual for furniture and gives this piece an almost floating quality. Pure wood, no other materials, no compromise.

The Making of the Disco Side Table

Designed by Harsha

Whether turned on a lathe or assembled from precision-cut disc sections, the stacked pedestal base of this table requires careful calibration at our Bangalore atelier. Each disc must be consistently sized, the gaps between layers must be uniform, and the final polish of each disc edge before assembly is the quality checkpoint that separates a good piece from an exceptional one.

01

Stacked Disc Pedestal

Four to five horizontal disc sections in dark walnut create a layered pedestal — the shadow gap between each layer changes with the light, giving the table a different character from morning to evening.

02

Polished Calm

A flat circular top in the same dark walnut, polished to a semi-gloss — a clean, resolved surface in deliberate contrast to the sculptural base below.

03

All Walnut

No glass, no metal, no mixed materials — one wood in one dark tone, from top to base. The grain does the rest.

Frequently Asked

Before You Order

How long does it take to make the Disco Side Table?
6–8 weeks from order confirmation. We build one piece at a time — frame first, then upholstery, then a final hand-finish — so the timeline reflects real bench-time, not warehouse stock.
Can I customise the dimensions, leather, or wood?
Yes. Almost every dimension can be adjusted within structural limits, and the leather and wood swatches shown are starting points — speak to a designer if you'd like us to source something specific.
How does delivery work, and where do you ship?
We deliver across India with white-glove placement included. International shipping is available on request — our team will coordinate freight, customs, and last-mile placement at the destination.
What does payment look like for a custom piece?
A 50% deposit confirms the order and reserves your build slot in the atelier. The balance is due before dispatch. We'll share a transparent quote with material and labour breakdown after the consultation.
What if something needs repair years from now?
Every piece carries a lifetime craftsmanship guarantee. Reupholstery, refinishing, and frame repair are handled in-house — a piece built today can be brought back to the workshop a decade from now and restored.
