The organic Lily shape has become a Tom Faulkner signature. It’s an entirely unique silhouette modelled after that of a lily pad drifting on the water’s surface. Since its inception, Tom has reimagined the design in various forms. The cocktail tables have been a popular choice, with their floating tops of coloured Venetian glass, rich marble, or textured metal. An array of options – from mirrors, to coffee tables, to accessories – pose countless ways to create a cohesive design narrative with our Lily collection. We’ve recently added some captivating additions to the roster, which we’re thrilled to introduce here. Read on for a look at the fresh faces of Lily, in all their wonderfully wobbly glory…

 

 

 

Curving Console

 

The Lily console table is brand new to our collection. Tom has deconstructed the classic shape, taking a cross-section of the footprint to highlight just one half. One side sits flush with a wall or perhaps the back of a sofa, while the other places the Lily’s undulating curves on full display. The piece, like all Tom Faulkner furniture, is made by hand in our own Wiltshire workshop. We take a meticulous approach to combining the rolled steel base with the material of your choice on top. They sit flush with one another to create a clean, minimalist look. We’d recommend opting for a hand-painted specialist finish on the base as this form shows them off especially well. As for the top, you can choose between a wealth of options for a bespoke console table tailored to your project.

 

 

Metal Pedestal Dining Table

 

There’s a beautiful simplicity to the Lily single pedestal dining table. Clean lines and a clear form are tempered by a dose originality, adding up to a conversation piece which speaks for itself. The base of this metal dining table has the quality of a pillar, standing strong to support a top of marble, glass, or wood. The nature-inspired footprint of the base curves to trace an ambling, organic shape which softens the overall effect. It’s an excellent dining table for small groups, thanks to its round format and compact size. It also works wonders as a feature table for an entryway, setting a soothing scene as you enter the home.

 

 

Double Pedestal Dining Table

 

The Lily double pedestal iteration is a large lozenge-shaped dining table with a distinctly sculptural quality. Its long sides and semi-circular ends offer the perfect format for entertaining. It brings everyone in close and allows for clear lines of sight throughout the group. A crystalline glass top amplifies the unobscured effect, showcasing the twin bases below. You can also opt for other materials on top should you wish to add a dash of texture and complexity to the design. No matter how you customise this dining table, it remains a clean and captivating piece of furniture that brings a spark to modern interiors.

 

 

Fully Upholstered Ottoman

 

This plush design is the third ottoman we’ve introduced to the Lily collection. We also offer an iteration wrapped in metal, with another option that boasts storage within. This fully upholstered ottoman offers a softer, more streamlined look in your choice of fabric. It anchors a living space perfectly as either a footstool or upholstered coffee table. Its generous proportions make it a versatile addition to any interior design scheme, while its pared-back style allows it to adapt to any environment.

 

 

For a more complete look at our Lily collection, we welcome you to pop into our London or New York showroom or visit one of our worldwide partner showrooms. Our Pimlico Road location is currently brimming with Lily designs as we step into spring, alongside other new additions. We’d suggest a peek at our new Cloud sofa while you’re there, which pairs perfectly with other pieces like the Lily ottoman and cocktail tables. If you’d like to find out more from afar, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with a friendly member of the team.
