20 Fantastic Asian Furniture: Accent and Side Tables
According to Wikipedia, the term Asian furniture or sometimes referred to Oriental furniture is a type of furniture that originated from the continent of Asia. Sometimes people also think of Asian furniture as a style of furniture that has Asian accents. With assimilation with western culture the term can also expand to modern Asian furniture.
Whenever we say Asian furniture, we are always directed to Chinese made or Chinese-inspired furniture, Japanese or Thai – but if you actually research well on this topic, you will see that aside from the signature designs we see from the Chinese, Japanese or Thai, we are able to note the materials used are from their original state or made from wood – which is a lot in the said countries, but for the meantime, we have wooden and ceramic side and accent tables below, check them out!
