This pair of coffee tables in smoked glass and red metal adds a contemporary and vintage touch to the living room. Their glass top allows the red structure to express itself with clarity, while the interplay of materials creates a sober and refined contrast. Designed to accompany a sofa, they are happy to hold a book, a small tray, or a cup, without weighing down the space. Their two-piece format allows them to be combined to create a cohesive set or to be distributed as needed, in a reading corner or in front of a seat. On the smoked glass, a low lamp and a few magazines are enough to compose an elegant scene.

Its structure, deliberately low to align with the seats of armchairs, is inspired by Eastern tea tables and 19th-century coffee stands. Referred to as a "living room table" or "cocktail table," it is defined by its generous top supported by a short and sturdy base.
