Price History
Description
Handmade from natural rattan in a contemporary design, this side table or lamp table from Desser features intricate woven wicker sides and curved cane detailing, creating an attractive piece for the living room or conservatory. The square table has a 5mm toughened glass top and a storage shelf to keep magazines, newspapers and books tucked away. The table complements matching rattan furniture in both the Turin and Centurion ranges. Strong and durable, natural rattan is low maintenance and easy to keep clean. Wipe the furniture clean with a dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth and dry it afterwards. Keep the furniture in a dry environment and avoid leaving it under direct sunlight for prolonged periods. The furniture’s colour lasts longer if moved around a conservatory regularly to protect it from direct sun in the same spot. Sustainably sourced in Indonesia, rattan is fast-growing compared to wood alternatives and, as a companion crop, its farming encourages the preservation of forests. Every part of the rattan vine is used. Outer rattan cane is used for attractive weaving and the solid core is steamed to manipulate it into beautiful furniture shapes. Want to see it first?

Our Stylist Says
I’m a big fan of this natural rattan side table for its clean lines and light, airy feel. The glass top keeps it looking fresh, while the lower rack adds handy storage for magazines or small baskets. It works equally well in coastal, Scandi or boho schemes, and even softens more modern or monochrome spaces. Styling-wise, try keeping the top surface simple - a small pot plant or a couple of coffee-table books and a ceramic vase will look neat without cluttering. Placed beside a sofa or armchair, it’s an easy way to introduce texture and practical shelving into your living area.

A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
