With its black wood and brutalist spirit, this second-hand side table brings a graphic and eclectic touch to a living room or bedroom. Its height makes it ideal for holding a lamp, a book, or a catch-all tray, while its elongated top fits easily against a sofa or next to an armchair. Its rustic style softens its appearance and allows it to complement linen, raw materials, or a more classic interior. Placed next to an armchair, it holds a lamp, an open novel, and a cup resting on a coaster. As a second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its history: a few traces of time.

A brief history of the side table
Born in the 17th century under the name of "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 nomadic piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by allowing the rigidity of large buffets to be broken, creating 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.
