With its white lacquered metal structure and grey smoked glass top, this round coffee table showcases a contemporary look, perfectly suited for a living room with clean lines. The dialogue between metal and glass creates a sober ensemble, easy to pair with a light sofa, a textured rug, or a few beautiful books placed on the surface. Sourced from a vintage market, it evokes the nineties while remaining easy to incorporate into a modern interior, where it adds a graphic touch without weighing down the space. It can also complement an armchair near a bay window, with a table lamp and a ceramic catchall. As a second-hand piece, it carries the marks of its history: slight rust spots underneath the glass. Height: 46 cm Diameter: 50 cm A brief history of the coffee table Unlike dining tables, the coffee table truly emerged only in the early 20th century with the evolution of living rooms towards more comfort and relaxation. Its intentionally low structure, designed to align with the seating of armchairs, is inspired by Eastern tea tables and 19th-century coffee stands. Commonly referred to as a "living room table" or "cocktail table," it is characterized by its generous top supported by a short and sturdy base.
