This dark wood side table enchants with its contemporary design and understated appearance. Vintage and second-hand, this wooden model rests on tapered Scandinavian legs that lighten its presence and give it a nice stature. In a living room, it holds a lamp, a book, or a cup while easily slipping next to an armchair or at the end of a sofa. Its round top naturally complements a simple and warm decor, featuring raw materials. Height: 43.5 cm Diameter: 48 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 legs of the first models brought from Italy. This nomadic piece of furniture revolutionized social life at the court by breaking the rigidity of large buffets to create conversation islands anywhere in the room. Its lightweight and compact structure was designed to be moved according to needs: to place a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
