Gestalten describes Buddy as 'a small and useful piece of furniture that you can place next to your sofa or bed, in the hallway or kitchen, its bowl-shaped top holding even items you could not usually place on a table. This little helper will accompany you through thick and thin.'
Available in two sizes and six different colour ways, Buddy feel just as at home in the hotel lobby as in the creative studio. With its rounded aluminum bowl and ash wood tripod, Buddy has a distinct and inviting appearance giving it a clear presence in any environment.
Buddy is now available in the Gestalten Store, in the newly opened concept mall Bikini Berlin - a compilation of carefully curated and coordinated boutiques. If you plan on visiting the store, we recommend that you also try the excellent coffee, served in the integrated café.
