With its console table look, this dark wood-toned formica piece adds a rustic touch to the entrance. The brass structure gives it a unique presence, while the wheeled legs make it easy to move according to the needs of the home. Its top surface is happy to accommodate a lamp or a key bowl, and the shelf underneath provides a second level of storage to keep a few items within reach. In a second-hand interior, it naturally pairs with a wooden bench and baskets made of natural fibers. On the lower shelf, a bouquet of dried flowers and a stack of magazines create a simple and neat scene. Width: 72 cm Depth: 36 cm Height: 73 cm Niche height: 42 cm A brief history of the side table Born in the 17th century under the name "guéridon," the side table owes its origin to the Moorish slaves [called guéridons] depicted on the carved feet of the early models brought back from Italy. This nomadic furniture revolutionized social life at court by allowing the rigidity of large buffets to be broken, creating conversation islands anywhere in the room. Its lightweight and compact structure was designed to be moved as needed: to place a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
