The Astrolabe Coffee Table
A round coffee table in two parts: a cream lacquered drum with an open storage well, and a tinted glass top that swings sideways off an off-centre pivot to uncover it.
- The top travels sideways as it turns, so the well underneath actually opens instead of going round in circles.
- A proper recessed storage well with a flat floor, open, with no lid and no hinge to wear out.
- A cream high-gloss lacquered drum that meets the floor directly, with no legs, feet or plinth.
- Tinted transparent glass, so the cream well floor reads through the top.

How long is delivery?
Made to order and shipped in 4 to 6 weeks, tracked to your door.
How does the deposit work, and is it refundable?
Reserve 50% today; balance on arrival. Refundable if not delivered within the promised window, and equally if the written confirmation of the open rows is not what you expected.
How big is it?
We do not know. The piece reached us as photographs with no measurement sheet, so no diameter, height, well depth or glass thickness is published here. All of it is confirmed in writing before anything is built.
How does the top actually move?
The post is off centre in the drum and the hole is off centre in the glass, so the top travels sideways as it turns rather than spinning in place, which is what uncovers the well. Swing range, whether it stops or locks, and the pivot's bearing type are confirmed at reservation.
What is it made of?
A cream high-gloss lacquered drum, a tinted glass top, and a curved leg in a sand-coloured crackle-textured finish. What sits under the lacquer, what the textured arc actually is, and whether the glass is toughened are all confirmed in writing at reservation.
