Sundara Cocktail Table

The Sundara cocktail table arrives on site the way most ceremony details should: without needing to announce itself. Crafted from solid Indonesian teak with an open-frame base, the piece reads as sculpture first, utility second—exactly the balance that works at Pelican Hill's outdoor terrace or along the loggia at Montage Laguna Beach, where architecture already does most of the talking.

At 42 inches tall and 24 inches in diameter, the Sundara sits higher than a standard coffee table but lower than a full cocktail high-top. The result is a posture halfway between lounge and stand—guests lean in rather than hover. The open-frame base means sightlines stay clear across a room, and the natural teak finish catches late-afternoon light without competing with coastal views or garden backdrops.

Where the Sundara Works

Planners reach for the Sundara when the event aesthetic leans tropical, boho-modern, or organic minimalist. It pairs naturally with the Bali Breeze lounge chair for rehearsal dinners at Monarch Beach Resort, or clustered in threes with the Laguna lounge for cocktail receptions at venues with neutral stone and open air—Sherman Library and Gardens, Hartley Botanica, the lawn at Montage Laguna Beach.

The table holds two guests comfortably. Surface area accommodates glassware, small plates, a low centerpiece arrangement. No tablecloth required; the teak grain is the finish.

Material and Construction

Solid teak sourced and handcrafted in Indonesia. The wood is left unsealed to preserve the warm honey tone and visible grain. Over time, teak weathers to silver-gray if exposed to the elements—but for event rental purposes, each piece arrives in its natural golden state.

The open-frame base consists of four curved supports that meet at a central ring, creating negative space without sacrificing stability. Weight capacity supports typical cocktail-hour use: glassware, small bites, floral arrangements under five pounds.

Styling Considerations

The Sundara works best in settings where the surrounding palette is neutral or earth-toned. It disappears into garden ceremonies and beachside receptions. In ballroom settings with heavy draping or metallic accents, the piece can read understated to the point of invisible—consider pairing with a taller floral arrangement or switching to a table with more visual mass.

Planners often cluster three Sundaras in a triangle for pre-ceremony mingling areas, or line them along a terrace edge at golden hour. The table does not require a linen, but when one is used, opt for sheer or natural weaves—linen, gauze, raw silk—that let the base remain visible.

Pair with low lounge seating for intimate conversation areas, or leave freestanding for cocktail-style circulation. The height works with standard bar stools if you need seated service at a non-traditional height; the Miro bar stool or Scandinavian bar stool both scale appropriately.

Delivery and Setup

Delivery and setup are available as optional add-on services, quoted per event based on venue location and access. The Sundara ships fully assembled; no on-site construction required. The piece is suitable for outdoor use on stable surfaces—grass, stone, wood deck. Avoid uneven terrain or soft sand without a stabilizing base.

Lead time for rental is typically two to four weeks; longer during peak wedding season (May through October). Coordinate with your planner or reach out directly to confirm availability for your event date.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the exact dimensions of the Sundara cocktail table?
Height: 42 inches. Diameter: 24 inches. Base footprint is slightly smaller due to the open-frame design.

How many guests does the Sundara accommodate?
Two guests comfortably. The table is designed for standing cocktail service or paired seating with bar-height stools.

Yes. Solid teak is naturally weather-resistant. For events with heavy wind or rain, we recommend pairing with weighted floral arrangements or coordinating covered setup.

What other furniture pairs well with the Sundara?
The Bali Breeze lounge chair, Laguna lounge, and olive lounge chair are frequent pairings. For bar-height seating, consider the Miro bar stool.
