Round, square or organic
A round coffee table works well with a corner sofa or in a tight seating area: no corners to walk around, and you can reach it from any position. A square coffee table provides calm and order, especially with a straight sofa, and offers more surface area for those who really want to put something down—generous space for design books, tactile objects or a striking vase. The organic shapes, such as the Blob and the Pebbles, are more freely drawn: a top that stands in the room more as an object than as a surface. This makes them ideally suited for a seating area that is not symmetrical itself.
Solid oak, walnut or HPL Fenix
Oak is light in colour and subtly grained, in hardwax oil, stained or lacquered. Walnut is deeper in tone with a more pronounced grain. HPL Fenix is sleek and matte, with a uniform surface without wood grain. You can choose the frame in the same wood or in powder-coated steel, which makes the table lighter in profile. Request colour samples to compare the options in your own light.
Which height and size suit your sofa
A coffee table is most comfortable at the same height as the seat of your sofa, or no more than five centimetres lower. Allow 35 to 45 centimetres. As for the size: leave about forty centimetres between the sofa and the table, so there is still space to walk past. With a corner sofa, a diameter or width of 80 to 120 centimetres generally works best, because you can reach it from every seat.
Alone or in combination
Two coffee tables next to each other, different in height or size, give a seating area more rhythm than one large top. For example, place a lower table in front of the sofa and a higher one next to it to keep a drink within easy reach. In the collection you will also find side tables in the same signature.
