The smoked glass and brass side table captivates with its blend of materials and contemporary look, making it ideal for a living room with a clean decor. Its smoked glass top allows light to flow through while the golden brass adds a precious touch without weighing down the whole piece. Second-hand, it readily accommodates a lamp, some books, or a vase, next to a sofa or in a bedroom. Its simple design allows it to pair with light fabric seating as well as more graphic furniture. Topped with a bouquet of fresh flowers and a ceramic catchall, it creates a discreet and refined corner. Length: 40 cm Width: 30 cm Height: 73 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] represented on the sculpted legs of the first models brought back 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 light and compact structure was designed to be moved as needed: to place a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
