This oval coffee table in painted and varnished wood, of Japanese origin, brings a contemporary touch to the living room. Its red top complements its fine black legs, while the golden accents subtly enhance the whole. Second-hand, it offers a refined presence without overwhelming the space, and its low shape is perfect for a relaxation corner or a sofa with simple lines. Set on a light rug, it holds a few art books, a piece of ceramics, or a tea tray to create a neat and warm decor. Length: 86 cm Width: 59 cm Height: 46 cm A brief history of the coffee table Contrary to dining tables, the coffee table only truly emerged in the early 20th century with the evolution of living rooms towards more comfort and relaxation. Its deliberately low structure aligns with the seating of armchairs and is inspired by Eastern tea tables and 19th-century coffee tables. Referred to as a "living room table" or "cocktail table," it is defined by its generous top supported by a short, sturdy base.
