Maybe it's just me, but sometimes everything I look at becomes anthropomorphic. The grille of the car has a certain smile, the teapot spout is tooting like an elephant and these tables and chairs all look about to walk away. It's just something about those legs.
The angled legs add life and personality to each of these simple designs. Whether three legs or four, short or tall, thin or fat, each set of legs gives additional flair to the modern pieces they are a part of. The British are known for their reserve, and these designs showcase that trait without any of the stodginess. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd better go catch the side table running down my hallway.

Placed against a wall, this desk will give the impression that it's propped precariously, because of its angled front legs — though of course it's really quite sturdy.

Its small size and stocky angled legs suggest that this table's name is Baby. It will add just a hint of youth sitting next to your more mature sofa.

Wire footrests add visual support to these slim angled legs. The curved top is a graceful addition to anyone's rear end!
Simplicity reigns in this table. The angled legs give it stability; the simple form gives it functionality.
There are no frills with this chair, just clean repeating angles to support you wherever it's placed: dinner table, studio or office.

The inset of the legs reinforces that lovely repeating angle on each of these nesting tables.

| These angled legs converge almost into one form, reaching up to support the surface of the table. The tabletop includes an inset linoleum center circle, insulated for your coffee cups. |

I am not taking medication - it's all very clear to me, now that you mention it. I scarcely dare look around me, because the scissors stuck in the mug on my desk are staring back at me with very big eyes, and my crook-neck desk lamp is about to lunge for a mouthful of paper-clips.
How do you think this way about things and not end up writing surreal children's books?
