With its transparent top placed on a brown-hued structure made of rattan and bamboo, this second-hand square coffee table exudes a simple and elegant country spirit. The glass reveals the material underneath, while the interweaving of rattan and bamboo provides a distinctly artisanal touch. Its generously high top is perfect for holding a catch-all, a few books, or a lamp in a living room. Paired with a linen sofa or a vintage armchair, it complements a soft and natural décor without overwhelming the space. A bouquet of wildflowers or a tea set finds a delicate place on it for a bright late afternoon. As a second-hand item, it bears the marks of its past life: a few micro-scratches on the glass top. Length: 59 cm Width: 58.5 cm Height: 53 cm A Brief History of the Coffee Table Unlike dining tables, the coffee table only truly emerged in the early 20th century with the evolution of living rooms toward greater comfort and relaxation. Its intentionally low structure, designed to align with the seating of armchairs, draws inspiration from Eastern tea tables and 19th-century coffee supports. Known as a "salon table" or "cocktail table," it is characterized by its generous top supported by a short, sturdy base.
