The tempered glass coffee table plays here on a contemporary composition, between transparency and shades of gray and burgundy. Its first transparent glass top, its two freely pivoting transparent red glass tops, and its opaque glass top create a graphic ensemble, while its heavy and stable structure gives it a beautiful presence in the living room. Second-hand, this vintage piece naturally fits alongside a low sofa, accommodating books, candlesticks, or a selection of magazines. When extended, it gains length and more willingly supports moments of reception without losing its presence. Topped with a smoked glass vase and a stack of beautiful books, it creates a sober and refined scene. Length with extensions: 216 cm Width: 100 cm Depth: 65 cm Height: 36 cm Shelf heights: 23/28 cm A Brief History of the Coffee Table Unlike dining tables, the coffee table only truly appeared in the early 20th century with the evolution of living rooms towards more comfort and relaxation. Its deliberately low structure, designed to align with the seat height of chairs, is inspired by Eastern tea tables and 19th-century coffee supports. Known as a "salon table" or "cocktail table," it is defined by its generous top supported by a short and robust base.
