The Scamp family of occasional tables is one range that exemplifies the Blu Dot philosophy of “Good Design is Good” – purveying striking design at fair price points. Blu Dot Australia Scamp Table

The choice of nine combinations in finishes is only enhanced with three table sizes. The Scamp is anything but scant in its offering.
