Slice Me Nice End Table: Color Reveals the Structure

With Slice Me Nice, Studiopepe has designed an end table whose identity stems from a very simple gesture: observing the object as if it had been cut open to reveal its interior. The project is thus based on the idea of cross-section and layering—elements that are usually hidden but are here deliberately highlighted. The result is a compact, graphic, and almost architectural piece, where every detail contributes to the interpretation of its structure.

A table conceived as a graphic bowl

The design of Slice Me Nice is based on clean geometric shapes and a visually straightforward construction. The thick tray rests on wide, flat bases, creating a silhouette that is both stable and sculptural. Despite this bold presence, the spacing between the bases maintains a certain visual lightness.

The Ø 40 x H 49 cm version combines an MDF tray and legs finished in silver-plated FENIX® laminate with glossy orange edges. This contrast gives the impression that the color passes through the material and highlights each contour like a line in a drawing.

When Color Becomes Structure

For Studiopepe, color does not simply serve as a decorative finish here. It is an integral part of the object’s visual construction. Visible on the edges, it helps define the table’s proportions and character. This approach gives “Slice Me Nice” an instantly recognizable presence, while remaining grounded in a very clean, minimalist geometry.

Where to place a Slice Me Nice end table?

With a diameter of 40 cm and a height of 49 cm, this table fits easily next to a sofa, an Armchair, or in a reading nook. Its compact size also allows it to be used as a small decorative table in an entryway or bedroom without cluttering the space.

Is the silver tray gray or metallic?

The tray is not white. It is covered with a silver-colored FENIX® laminate, which gives it a light, slightly metallic appearance. This finish creates a sharp contrast with the glossy orange edge and further accentuates the piece’s graphic design.

What is the purpose of the orange edge?

The glossy orange edge is intentionally designed to highlight the thickness of the tray and the edges of the bases. It is therefore not merely a pop of color. It plays a key role in how the piece’s construction is perceived and underscores the concept of layering at the heart of the Slice Me Nice project.

What kind of interior is Slice Me Nice suited for?

Its combination of silver and orange works particularly well in a contemporary, graphic, or eclectic interior. The table can add a splash of color to a minimalist setting or interact with other bold hues in a more expressive composition. Its geometric language remains sufficiently minimalist to ensure true versatility.

With Slice Me Nice, Studiopepe transforms a design detail into an aesthetic signature. A compact and expressive end table, conceived as a graphic object where color accentuates the material rather than simply covering it.
