Coffee Tables

A coffee table is a key element of the living room, serving a dual purpose as both a practical surface and a defining part of the interior. Within our furniture collection, the coffee table plays a vital role in tying the seating area together and providing a visual focal point in the room. Our selection features designs from leading brands, with a strong emphasis on material quality, construction, and well-balanced proportions.

We focus on designers and brands known for their ability to merge usability with compelling aesthetics. In the living room, the coffee table serves as a resting place for books, art objects, or beverages while contributing to the room's overall harmony.

Shape and Expression – round, square, and asymmetrical forms

The shape of the coffee table affects the room’s flow and dynamics. Oval or round tables are a natural choice for softening the look of straight-lined furniture groups. Their organic forms create a more relaxed feel and allow easier movement around the table.

For a more graphic or structured look, square or rectangular tables are better suited. Some designers work with asymmetrical shapes that challenge traditional formats, resulting in tables that border on sculptural pieces. Examples include the Worm Coffee Table Large from Hem and the Pinwheel HM7 from &Tradition, both of which showcase a clear design identity.

Proportions and placement of coffee tables

To achieve proportional harmony, the coffee table should relate to the seating furniture. A general guideline is that the table’s width should be between half and two-thirds of the total length of the sofa. This ensures that everyone in the seating area can comfortably reach the surface.

Height is also crucial. Many international designers favor lower tables that create a relaxed, lounge-like atmosphere, while higher tables are more suitable for working or dining. The height of the table should coordinate with the seat height of the sofa. A lower coffee table, for example, complements generous, deep sofas and contributes to a unified expression.

Storage needs are another consideration. Our selection includes coffee tables with built-in storage options such as hidden compartments, drawers, or shelves to help keep smaller items organized. Nesting tables, consisting of multiple tables in varying sizes and heights, offer a flexible solution that adapts to different needs. A small coffee table can complement a larger seating area or stand alone in a smaller space, creating an airy impression.

Selected designer tables – materials and design heritage

Our range of coffee tables is carefully curated to showcase the best in contemporary and historical design. From architecturally iconic tables by Knoll to expressive stone tables from Walter Knoll, the focus lies on quality materials and expert construction.

The choice of material influences the furniture’s character and presence in the room. A wooden coffee table, such as walnut or dark-stained oak, adds weight and depth. For a lighter, more reflective impression, a tabletop in polished marble or glass is an elegant choice. Alternatively, metals like aluminum or steel can give an industrial feel with a sleek, technical aesthetic. These materials contrast beautifully with soft textiles and leather in the sofa.

Regardless of size or form, each table in the collection is defined by durable materials, thoughtful design, and a clear creative vision. The coffee table thus becomes more than just a functional piece – it is an integral part of the room’s architecture and identity.
