It isn’t a peg meant to fit in a triangular block of wood. But it is made of spun small striped pine and lacquer wood. It is not an umbrella to float atop your summer cocktail.

Andreas Engesvik’s first solo project for Wallpaper* in Italy is a delightfully whimsical lawn table, available in three colors.
