A second-hand piece, it adds a thoughtfully curated touch to the interior and effortlessly accommodates a few art books, a low vase, or a serving tray. Its discreet presence is particularly suited to a living room where an elegant coffee table is desired without weighing down the overall look.

A brief history of the coffee table
Unlike dining tables, the coffee table only truly appeared at the beginning of the 20th century with the evolution of living rooms towards greater comfort and relaxation. Its structure, deliberately low to align with the seat of the armchairs, is inspired by oriental tea tables and 19th-century coffee stands. Called a "living room table" or "cocktail table", it is defined by its generous top supported by a short and sturdy base.
