scandinavian design coffee & side tables

This page devoted to designer coffee tables brings together small side tables, which can be placed next to an armchair or at the end of a sofa, next to a bed, along a wall or in a hallway, and larger coffee tables, which are designed to occupy the centre of the living room so that people can gather around them. 

We've classified them by shape - rounded shapes make it easier to move around, avoiding sharp corners; square and rectangular shapes maximise the surface area - and by material: on one side, wooden tops; on the other, tops in glass, marble, laminate, etc.

Finally, there is a page devoted to trolleys, small tables with wheels and several tops, ideal for serving tea or aperitifs, or for storing books and newspapers.

Nordic design boasts many iconic coffee tables that have left their mark on the history of design, the work of such great designers as Poul Kjærholm, Alvar Aalto, Arne Jacobsen and Hans Wegner. There is a wide variety of materials - from wood and steel to glass and metal - and a wide variety of shapes, from nesting tables to trolleys, flower shapes, rectangles, squares and more.
