Made from solid walnut, Parlor reimagines how classic board games are incorporated into the home. Featuring a mid-century modern style, this coffee and game table is designed to fit elegantly into any space and seamlessly blend no matter the setting.
In it’s resting state, Parlor functions as a traditional coffee table, providing storage for personal items and decor. When it’s time to play a game, the main surface rotates to reveal both a backgammon and chess board, transforming the piece from coffee table to game table.
The design aims to pull people away from the consuming technology of this generation and allow them to focus on whats right in front of them. Parlor prioritizes face-to-face social interaction and raw human connection.
