Oly Studio - Friar Tuck Side Table

Oly Studio’s Friar Tuck Side Table showcases cast aluminum with naturally patinated finish that deepens over time, becoming richer with age. At 16 inches in diameter and 23 inches tall, this made-to-order piece celebrates the concept of living finish—material that evolves and improves through use. The patinated aluminum develops warmth and character that transcends the sterile perfection of new manufacture. Oly Studio designed the Friar Tuck to embrace the beauty of weathered materials and the philosophy that objects improve with time. The cast aluminum construction ensures lightweight mobility while the patinated finish provides visual warmth. The changing patina becomes a record of the table’s life in your home—a living material that tells stories through surface variation. The petite scale works beautifully beside beds, in reading corners, or as floating accents in living spaces. Made-to-order production means your Friar Tuck emerges as a unique piece, with natural variation in patination adding to individual character. The visible casting process celebrates manufacturing honesty—you can see how molten aluminum was formed into this functional object. This side table represents a design philosophy where imperfection and change become virtue rather than flaw. The Friar Tuck Aluminum Side Table is for anyone who believes that aging gracefully applies equally to furnishings and people.
