With its saddle line and dark wood, this side table brings a measured countryside touch to a living room, bedroom, or entryway. Its top, which unfolds on both sides in width, allows it to offer, as needed, a more generous surface to place a lamp, some books, or a vase. Its compact size makes it easily fit by a sofa, at the end of a couch, or in a reading nook. The deep-toned wood naturally pairs with linen, ceramics, or vintage furniture. In a tidy interior, it will gladly hold a stack of novels and a bouquet of dried flowers. Width: 49 cm Depth: 49 cm Height: 75 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] depicted on the sculpted feet of the first models brought from Italy. This nomadic piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by allowing the breaking of the rigidity of large buffets to create conversation islands anywhere in the room. Its lightweight and compact structure was designed to be moved as needed: to set down a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
