With their refined marquetry, these three nesting tables in a dark wood finish bring a very polished contemporary look to the living room. The geometric pattern of the tabletop catches the eye, while the sculpted legs add a subtle touch of texture to the overall design. Each offers practical storage, with a drawer and a niche to keep remote controls, notebooks, or small everyday accessories close at hand. Tucked one under the other, they can be pulled out as needed and are ideal for placing next to a sofa. On the largest table, a ceramic lamp, a glass vase, and a drink tray create an elegant and practical display.

A brief history of nesting tables
Invented at the end of the 18th century by English cabinetmaker Thomas Sheraton, nesting tables are a set of tables in decreasing sizes that fit one under the other. Popular during the Art Deco period for their geometric shapes and later reimagined in the 1950s and 1960s with organic lines, they are the ultimate example of modular furniture. They are named for their resemblance to Russian nesting dolls and offer an ingenious space-saving solution for small spaces. Versatile, they can serve as coffee tables, bedside tables, or occasional stands depending on your needs at the time.
