With its simple lines and rustic spirit, this light wooden side table charms with the obviousness of its design and the softness of its polished tops. Its balanced size allows it to fit nicely next to a sofa, at the end of a couch, or in a kitchen, serving as a support for a lamp, a few books, or a coffee service. Found in Lorient, it evokes homes rebuilt after the war and fits naturally into an interior mixing patinated wood, washed linen, and antique dishes. Sourced from a flea market, it will also add a neat touch to an entryway, accompanied by a wicker basket and a bouquet of fresh flowers. Length: 100 cm Width: 50 cm Height: 68 cm A brief history of the side table Born in the 17th century under the name "guéridon," the side table owes its origin to Moorish slaves [called guéridons] represented on the sculpted feet of the early models brought back from Italy. This nomadic piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by breaking the rigidity of large buffets to create conversation islands anywhere in the room. Its light and compact structure was designed to be moved as needed: to place a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
