With its duo of formica and light beech wood, this second-hand coffee table brings a soft and bright countryside touch to the living room. Its light blue tabletop, with a shape between rectangular and oval, creates a delicate presence, while its four beech legs provide a sober and balanced base. It willingly accommodates an art book, a cup of tea, or a ceramic vase, and naturally pairs with a linen sofa or a woven rug. In a living area, it composes a refined scene, especially when adorned with a few magazines and a bouquet of wildflowers. Length: 52 cm Width: 42.5 cm Height: 46.5 cm A brief history of the coffee table Unlike dining tables, the coffee table only truly appeared in the early 20th century with the evolution of living rooms towards more comfort and relaxation. Its deliberately low structure aligns with the seating of armchairs and is inspired by Eastern tea tables and 19th-century coffee stands. Known as a "salon table" or "cocktail table," it is defined by its generous top supported by a short and sturdy base.
