In this article, we will discuss the simple and functional coffee or side table, and how such a simple edition can elevate the overall aesthetic of your living room. Essentially, a coffee or side table is a small, low table that is typically placed alongside a sofa or armchair, or in the center of a seating area in a living room. It’s primarily used for convenience, providing a surface to place items like drinks, books, remote controls, or decorative objects. While similar in function, Coffee tables are usually larger and positioned in front of seating arrangements, whereas side tables are smaller and placed beside furniture.
These small tables are indispensable in the living room and serve as a focal point for the overall ambiance of the room by adding depth and dimension while providing functionality and style. They can come in various styles, sizes, a combination of materials, or designs to complement different decor themes and purposes in each seating area.
One example of such a coffee table is the Epic Coffee Table by GUBI. This simple and minimalistic table is inspired by contemporary architectural elements especially geometric shapes, and as such, the table comprises the geometric hexagon as a base and a geometric circle as a tabletop. The table comes in a variety of sizes and a large Epic coffee table can act as the focal point of your seating table while a smaller-sized table can easily accompany a lounge chair or a sofa. Furthermore, it is available in a variety of materials such as wood, or metal, or even more exotic choices such as marble or travertine.
For a more specialized side table, one can consider the Risom Magazine Table by Fredericia. As the name suggests, this table is intentionally made with a special groove to hold and store reading materials such as books or magazines. This side table comes in both lacquer and black lacquered oak, and the mix of soft lines and carefully cut grooves makes it a great choice for any living room.
Alternatively, for a more unique look, the Puzz Coffee Table by Eilersen is a customizable coffee table made up of three wooden blocks and a tabletop, with the size, shape, and material of each component being customizable to suit your taste. The position of the base blocks can also be rearranged to your liking, just like a puzzle!
Whether they boast sleek modern lines, rustic charm, or timeless elegance, with their ability to blend practicality with design flair, these humble yet indispensable pieces of furniture truly embody the essence of timeless design, of form meeting function. From enhancing the visual appeal of a room to offering convenient storage solutions, coffee and side tables are essential elements of well-designed living spaces
