This large red lacquered solid wood coffee table brings a contemporary touch to a carefully decorated living room. Its generous top accommodates art books, magazines, or a serving tray, while its height allows it to be placed at the heart of a relaxation area without weighing down the overall look. Second-hand, it also charms with its glossy finish and its design-oriented appearance, which easily complements a low sofa, a graphic rug, or a few ceramic objects. In a living room, it creates an elegant setting with a vase and a stack of books, for everyday use that is both functional and refined. Length: 135 cm Width: 85 cm Height: 42 cm A Brief History of the Coffee Table Unlike dining tables, the coffee table only really emerged in the early 20th century with the evolution of living rooms towards greater comfort and relaxation. Its structure, deliberately low to align with the seating of armchairs, is inspired by Eastern tea tables and 19th-century coffee supports. Known as a "parlor table" or "cocktail table," it is defined by its generous top supported by a short, sturdy base.
