Story Woolson Collection

The Story Woolson Collection is a group of tables from furniture designer Story Woolson, built to hold a wall without taking the floor in front of it. Concrete console tables and a travertine and antique brass side table, each 14 inches deep, fit a hall, an entry or the space behind a sofa.

What the Record Says About Furniture Designer Story Woolson

Uttermost produces the pieces in the Story Woolson Collection and credits Story Woolson as their designer in its product data. Beyond that credit we found nothing published, so we judge the designer the way you will at home, by the pieces. Within the wider range of Uttermost, you can pick them out by two traits: a narrow footprint and a surface that reads as stone.

Story Woolson Furniture Keeps a 14" Depth

Depth decides where these pieces can go. At 14 inches, a 60-inch console takes little from a hallway or the gap behind a sofa and still gives you a long run of surface for a lamp and a stack of books. The usual mistake is buying depth you cannot walk past. Measure the clear path first, then compare other narrow console tables if the wall wants a different length.

Story Woolson Concrete Console Tables, Light and Dark

Both consoles are concrete and rated for indoor-outdoor use, so one silhouette can work an entry or a covered porch. They differ in tone, and tone is what you notice once the overhead lights go off. If you are still deciding between designers, look through Ansley Brown furniture before settling on this pair.

A Pale Story Woolson Console for Organic Modern Rooms

The limestone finish catches warm light and spreads it across the wall. It sits easily with natural linen and light oak.

A Dark Story Woolson Console for Dark Academia Halls

Against a deep green or oxblood wall, the slate finish nearly disappears, and whatever sits on top seems to float. Leave the top bare and the same effect works against you: the wall just looks empty.

A Story Woolson Side Table in Travertine and Antique Brass

The side table switches materials but keeps the 14-inch depth, with three tiers at 22 inches high, so it tucks beside a reading chair without crowding the walkway. The antique brass looks warmest in lamplight, and the Natural travertine keeps it from turning showy. Among stone and brass side tables, the lower tiers are the detail worth using. Books go underneath, which leaves the top clear for a drink.

Concrete and travertine both read heavier than their size, so give each piece a little empty wall on either side. Given that room, the shallow depth looks deliberate.
