With its smoked glass and steel structure, this second-hand coffee table has a contemporary look, all in finesse. The top allows light to circulate while the steel adds a clean line, ideal in a living room with a minimalist decor or alongside a sofa with textile materials. Its format fits easily in front of a sofa and can accommodate both a few books and cups or a low vase. The smoked glass pairs particularly well with soft tones, light wood, or fabric seating, creating a simple and refined ensemble. On a textured rug, it holds a stack of magazines and a decorative bowl with great lightness. Width: 100 cm Depth: 50 cm Height: 37 cm A brief history of the coffee table Unlike dining tables, the coffee table only truly appears in the early 20th century with the evolution of living rooms towards more comfort and relaxation. Its deliberately low structure, designed to align with armchair seating, is inspired by Eastern tea tables and 19th-century coffee stands. Known as a "living room table" or "cocktail table," it is defined by its generous top supported by a short, sturdy base.
