A brief history of the coffee table
Unlike dining tables, the coffee table only truly emerged in the early 20th century as living rooms evolved to become more comfortable and relaxing spaces. Its deliberately low structure, designed to align with the seat of an armchair, draws inspiration from Oriental tea tables and 19th-century coffee stands. Referred to as a "living room table" or "cocktail table," it is defined by its generous top supported by a short, sturdy base.
