Side tables

Side tables add a useful surface without requiring the volume of a central table. Beside a sofa, armchair or bed, they keep a lamp, book or everyday object within reach, while their scale makes them easy to move when the arrangement changes.

The selection brings together contemporary, handcrafted and vintage pieces in wood, clay, stone, metal and fibres, according to the information on each product page. Before choosing, relate the height of the table to the seat or mattress, check the circulation space and consider the visual weight of the material. A round form softens a very linear arrangement; a compact piece can make use of a corner without overcrowding it.

Combine them with sofas and armchairs and lounge chairs, or complete the surface with a table lamp.
