Overview
Architectural in feel, this end table complements and pairs perfectly with the rest of the Terrace collection. Clean and meticulous design are on full display, while the tempered glass surface provides a clear view of the lower shelf.
What Makes the Terrace 1156 Unique: A Perfect Cube with Architectural Precision
The Terrace 1156 is defined by a single, immediately distinctive characteristic: it is a perfect cube — 22.25"H × 22.25"W × 22.25"D. Every dimension is identical. This is not a coincidence or a near-miss — it is a deliberate, precise design that gives the table an almost mathematical purity. A cube is one of the most resolved geometric forms in design — no direction is privileged over another, no dimension dominates. The Terrace 1156 is equally tall, wide, and deep, creating an end table that reads as architecturally definitive from every angle.
"Clean and meticulous design are on full display" — BDI's own language acknowledges that the Terrace 1156 is not a piece that hides its design thinking but one that presents it openly. The cube form is the idea, and the execution of that idea in three materials — hardwood veneer, tempered glass, and powder-coated aluminum — is the design.
Materials: Three in Deliberate Combination
Hardwood Veneers — the primary surface material of the side and lower shelf panels. Available in two finish options (detailed below), the veneered panels provide warmth and natural material character within the cube's geometric structure. BDI acknowledges the natural variability of wood: the beauty of real wood lies in its individuality — each tree grows differently, shaped by soil, sun, water, and time, creating distinct variations in grain, texture, and tone. No two Terrace 1156s are exactly alike.
Polished Tempered Glass — the top surface. Tempered glass sits flush at the table's top, providing a clear, reflective surface that also provides a clear view of the lower shelf below. This transparency is central to the design: the glass allows the eye to travel through the table's vertical dimension, making the lower shelf visible and the table's full interior architecture readable. "Put yourself on display" — BDI's tagline for the Terrace collection — acknowledges that the glass top turns the lower shelf into a display surface as much as a storage surface.
Powder-Coated Aluminum — the structural support elements. Aluminum is lightweight yet rigid, corrosion-resistant, and takes powder coating consistently. The aluminum supports are the architectural connective tissue between the veneer panels and the glass top — precise, minimal, and structurally essential.
Finish Options: Two
Natural Walnut — warm, rich American black walnut veneer. The Walnut configuration is shown as the hero/default display finish, suggesting it is the primary and most popular configuration. Natural walnut's deep chocolate brown brings warmth to the cube's geometric precision, creating a table that reads as luxurious and inviting despite its mathematical rigor.
Charcoal Stained Ash — a deep, dark gray-toned ash veneer. The Charcoal finish reads cooler and more graphic than walnut the darker tone emphasizes the cube's edges and the material boundaries between veneer, glass, and aluminum more dramatically. In Charcoal, the Terrace 1156 reads as more architectural and urban; in Natural Walnut, it reads as warmer and more organic.
