This wooden coffee table makes a modest statement, ideal for a contemporary living room. Its lift-top adds an additional practical use, keeping current reading materials or a discreet blanket within reach. Sourced second-hand, this wooden piece easily complements a light fabric sofa, a lamp placed beside it, or a few carefully stacked magazines. Its proportions allow it to structure the space without weighing down the room while maintaining an elegant appearance. As a second-hand item, it retains the memory of its past: some signs of wear. Length: 83 cm Width: 47 cm Height: 40 cm A Brief History of the Coffee Table Unlike dining tables, the coffee table emerged only in the early 20th century with the evolution of living rooms towards greater comfort and relaxation. Its structure, purposefully low to align with the seating of armchairs, is inspired by Eastern tea tables and 19th-century coffee stands. Known as a "salon table" or "cocktail table," it is characterized by its generous top supported by a short, sturdy base.
