This vintage coffee table from the seventies charms with the balance of its smoked glass, black lacquer, and golden brass accents. Its removable glass top reveals meticulous finishes, while the removable golden brass corners emphasize a graphic and contemporary presence. The legs, extended by a golden brass plate inside, add a touch of fine craftsmanship to this second-hand piece of furniture. In a living room, it readily accommodates an art book, a low vase, or a bowl, and creates a refined ensemble with a light fabric sofa. Topped with a graphic bouquet and placed on a textured rug, it completes a very current scene.

Its structure, deliberately low to align with the seating of armchairs, is inspired by oriental 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, sturdy base.
