A brief 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 earliest models brought back from Italy. This mobile piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by allowing people to break away from the rigidity of large buffets and create conversation hubs 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.
