Description
The Jardinico Kobe Nesting Side Table is a solid teak side table with a distinctive hourglass-waisted profile — available in two sizes, ø40 × 45 cm and ø50 × 60 cm, both in a single frame finish: Teak. The Kobe's defining feature is its sculpted silhouette — a wide circular top that curves inward to a narrowed waist before flaring out again at the base — giving it a sculptural, organic character that reads as a design object as much as a functional side table. The two sizes are designed to nest together, with the smaller ø40 cm table fitting beneath or alongside the ø50 cm table when not in use. Constructed entirely from solid teak, the Kobe brings the material's rich warm grain, natural texture, and inherent outdoor durability to any outdoor lounge or terrace setting.
Key Features
- Hourglass Sculptural Profile: The Kobe's waisted silhouette — confirmed in the Jardinico dimension diagram — is its defining design characteristic. The top circular surface (ø40 cm or ø50 cm) tapers inward to a narrowed waist (35 cm or 43.5 cm respectively) before widening back out at the base, giving the table a sculptural, considered form that distinguishes it clearly from standard cylindrical or straight-leg side tables.
- Nesting Design — Two Sizes: The ø40 × 45 cm and ø50 × 60 cm tables are designed as a nesting pair. The smaller table nests within or alongside the larger when not in use, allowing both to occupy minimal space while offering flexible surface area when deployed.
- Solid Teak Construction: Both sizes are constructed entirely from solid teak — confirmed from Shopify product options (Frame Structure: Teak). Teak's naturally high oil content provides inherent resistance to moisture, dimensional movement, and insect damage without annual treatment — making it one of the most practical and proven materials for permanent outdoor use.
- Rich Grain & Warm Tone: Solid teak presents a naturally varied grain pattern and warm honey-brown tone that gives each Kobe table a surface character that is impossible to replicate in synthetic or treated materials. Over time, untreated teak weathers to a natural silver-grey patina; periodic oiling will maintain the warm tone if preferred.
- Versatile Outdoor Use: The Kobe's compact circular footprint and sculptural profile make it well suited to placement beside outdoor lounge chairs, sofas, and sunloungers — as a drinks surface, reading surface, or decorative accent piece. Both sizes function independently or as a composed pair.

Teak Frame Structure
Materials & Construction
Solid Teak — Sculpted Form
One-Piece Teak Construction: The Kobe is constructed entirely from solid teak — the entire hourglass-waisted body, from circular top through the narrowed waist to the base, is formed from the same material. Teak's workability allows it to be shaped into the Kobe's compound curves without sacrificing structural integrity, while its naturally high oil content ensures the finished piece is fully suited to permanent outdoor use without annual treatment or protective coating.
Natural Grain & Texture: Each Kobe table presents the natural grain variation and warm tone inherent to solid teak. No two pieces are identical — the material's organic character ensures a surface that becomes more individual over time as the grain settles and the teak either weathers naturally to silver-grey or is maintained at its honey-brown tone with periodic oiling.
Nesting Function
Designed as a Pair: The ø40 and ø50 cm Kobe tables are scaled to nest together. The ø40 cm table fits beneath the ø50 cm table when not in use, allowing both tables to occupy the footprint of the larger size alone. When deployed, the two tables can be positioned at different heights to serve different functions simultaneously — the taller ø50 cm as a primary side table, the shorter ø40 cm as a lower accent surface or footrest companion.
Independent Use: Both sizes function equally well as standalone side tables — the ø40 × 45 cm beside an outdoor lounge chair or sunlounger, the ø50 × 60 cm beside an outdoor sofa or as a standalone garden accent piece.
Usage & Care
Ideal Applications
Outdoor Lounge & Terrace: The Kobe's compact circular footprint makes it ideally suited to placement alongside outdoor lounge chairs, sofas, and sunloungers — providing a surface for drinks, books, and accessories without occupying disproportionate floor space. The sculptural hourglass profile also allows the Kobe to function as a standalone decorative object in a garden setting, particularly in natural or organic outdoor schemes where the warm teak grain reads well against planting, stone, and other natural materials.
Pair or Nest: Used as a nesting pair, the two sizes provide flexible surface area in outdoor lounge settings — nest them together when space is limited, deploy both when entertaining or when two height levels are useful simultaneously.
Maintenance
Teak Care: The Kobe's solid teak construction requires no mandatory treatment for outdoor use. Occasional brushing with soapy water and a soft brush will keep the surface clean. Apply a quality teak oil periodically if you wish to maintain the warm honey-brown tone of the natural teak finish. If left untreated, the teak will weather gradually to a natural silver-grey patina over one to two outdoor seasons — a process that does not affect the structural integrity of the piece.
Year-Round Outdoor Placement: Solid teak requires no seasonal storage. The Kobe can remain outdoors year-round. A furniture cover during extended non-use periods will slow the natural weathering process and keep the surface clean between uses.
Why Choose Jardinico Kobe
Sculptural Teak That Earns Its Place in Any Outdoor Space: The Kobe Nesting Side Table functions simultaneously as a practical surface and a considered design object — the hourglass silhouette giving it a presence and individuality in an outdoor setting that a standard cylindrical or rectangular side table cannot match. Constructed entirely from solid teak and available in two nesting sizes, it combines genuine outdoor material performance with a form that improves any outdoor lounge composition it is placed within.
