This light wood rattan side table, vintage and stained with a country spirit, adds a warm touch without weighing down the space. Its rattan structure creates a light presence, while the tabletop provides a discreet support for a book, a cup, or a small catch-all. With a height under the tabletop of thirty-five centimeters, it easily fits beside an armchair or at the end of a sofa, in a living room or a bedroom. Its vintage look suits both a natural decor and more understated materials. Placed under a table lamp, it holds a few books and a small ceramic vase. Height: 65 cm Diameter: 48 cm Height under tabletop: 35 cm A little history of the side table Appearing in the 17th century, the side table derives its name from a ballet character, “Guéridon,” who held a torch. Originally designed as a support for lighting [candelabras, lamps], this small accent piece is distinguished by its circular top resting on a unique central base. Whether it is Empire style in solid mahogany or Seventies in rattan, it adapts to all interiors as a side table or display table. Today, it remains the centerpiece for elegantly and lightly structuring a reading nook.
