With its simple lines and country spirit, this light wood side table charms with the clarity of its design and the softness of its waxed surfaces. Its balanced proportions allow it to find its place next to a sofa, as an end table, or in a kitchen, serving as a stand for a lamp, a few books, or a coffee service. Found in Lorient, it evokes post-war reconstruction homes and fits naturally into an interior mixing patinated wood, washed linen, and antique tableware. As a vintage find, it will also add a polished touch to an entryway, accompanied by a wicker basket and a bouquet of fresh flowers.

A short history of the side table
Born in the 17th century under the name "guéridon," the side table owes its origin to the 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 buffets to create conversation nooks 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.
