Demilune


The Demilune

Thought we would tighten our vernacular by addressing the ever-helpful demilune [dem-ē-ˌlün] table.  A demilune is an occasional table which is always rounded and often includes a shelf or drawer—it can be crafted in most any style or aesthetic.  As you might suspect, the demilune takes its name by way of its shape—a half moon.   It incredibly versatile—lacking boxy corners—snugly fitting in tight quarters, such as hallways or foyers.  If one’s space permits, a pair of demilunes nicely flank a doorway and may also be paired to make a small table.  Always a smart purchase for most any space in your house.
