Gloster Furniture
Gloster has set a new standard of comfort and unique design with the AXIS furniture collection. Stunning lines and sharp looks combine to place Axis as the center of design innovation. Upon close inspection, a simple, visually lightweight frame becomes a complex and unique union of asymmetric angles. Axis’ solid teak sled style frame and stylish angles are echoed throughout this unique collection. Gloster’s Axis dining, side and coffee tables are supported with sleek minimal bases which are protected from wear and exposure by nylon glides.
