With its smoked glass and metal structure, this vintage coffee table from the 1970s adds a contemporary touch to the living room. Sourced second-hand, this model charms with the clear contrast between the transparency of the tabletop and the sturdiness of the base. Its modest height allows it to fit beside a sofa and accommodate books, a mug, or a lamp without overcrowding the space. In a minimalist interior, it complements both a fabric armchair and a few ceramic pieces, creating a simple and refined scene. Width: 35 cm Depth: 35 cm Height: 25.5 cm A brief history of the coffee tableUnlike dining tables, the coffee table only became a true fixture at the beginning of the 20th century with the evolution of living rooms towards greater comfort and relaxation. Its intentionally low structure aligns with the seat height of armchairs and is inspired by Eastern tea tables and 19th-century coffee stands. Referred to as a "salon table" or "cocktail table," it is defined by its generous tabletop supported by a short, sturdy base.
