A brief history of the coffee table
Unlike dining tables, the coffee table did not truly emerge until the early 20th century, with the evolution of living rooms toward greater comfort and relaxation. Its structure, intentionally low to align with the seat of armchairs, was inspired by Oriental tea tables and 19th-century coffee stands. Referred to as a "lounge table" or "cocktail table," it is defined by its generous surface supported by short, sturdy legs.
