With its saddle-stitched line and dark wood, this side table brings a measured country touch to a living room, bedroom, or entryway. Its top, which unfolds on both sides, allows it to offer a more generous surface when needed for a lamp, a few books, or a vase. Its compact size makes it easy to place next to a sofa, as an end table, or in a reading nook. The deep-toned wood harmonizes naturally with linen, ceramics, or vintage finds. In a well-appointed interior, it will happily hold a stack of novels and a bouquet of dried flowers.

A brief history of the side table
Born in the 17th century under the name "guéridon," the side table owes its origin to Moorish slaves (called guéridons) depicted on the carved legs of the first models brought back from Italy. This mobile piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by breaking the rigidity of large sideboards to create conversation islands anywhere in the room. Its light and compact structure was designed to be moved as needed: to hold a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
