Cutout T03, Contemporary Black Metal Coffee Table by Millim Studio
Located in Frascati, RM
Cutout is an aesthetic research on metal shapes that have been “cutted out” from other projects.
The variable and free geometries, due to the previous processes, give the sign to each new piece.
Abandoned forms come back to show themselves in a new life.
No more matter in excess but form and essence.

Sculptural Walnut and Glass Coffee Table by Thomas Throop/ Black Creek Designs
Located in New Canaan, CT
The Laguna coffee shown here in walnut and glass can be made in custom sizes, shapes and various woods and finishes. The same design details apply to all possible variations. Popular glass top shapes are oval, rectangular, square and round.
The Laguna series tables are some of my favorite and most challenging to build. Each base is unique as the process and resulting form is ultimately sculptural. The 1/2" thick tempered glass top is supported by a base made of walnut consisting of tapering arcs of varying size which intersect to form a dynamic structure.
The series works well with almost any shaped top be it glass, stone or solid wood. The Laguna series of tables makes the ultimate sculptural statement in any setting. Each table base is unique comprising of a number of tapered arcs joined to create a structure with endless visual possibilities.
All the elements are shaped, joined and finished by hand so as to create a united design.

Warren McArthur Streamline Modern Aluminum Black Coffee Table Model 1559-s 1930s
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Warren McArthur
Coffee table, model 1559-s
Warren McArthur Corporation
USA, c. 1930
enameled aluminum, laminate
18½ h × 30 dia in (47 × 76 cm)
literature: Warren McArthur Corporation, Donnelly, pg. 50
Warren McArthur Jr. was an innovator in Machine Age/ Art Deco furniture design.
McArthur moved from Chicago to Los Angeles in 1929 to pursue metal furniture manufacturing; he founded the Warren McArthur Corporation there in 1930. His furniture designs while unique were true to the Machine Age aesthetic. Machine Age design emphasized sleek forms inspired by automobiles, locomotives and airplanes. These objects were symbols of progress and modernity to the American consumer and industrial designers began constructing furniture in streamlined designs from steel, chrome and aluminum.
Prior to the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair, known as the “Century of Progress Exhibition.” The fair’s tagline, “See America Streamlined,” and the abundance of metal furniture and home goods exhibited finally presented the concept of utilizing metal designs in the typical American household. The Museum of Modern Art followed suit in subsequent years with exhibitions like "Machine Art," (1934), and "Bauhaus 1919-1928" (1938), further exposing the American public to this design style.
The Warren McArthur Corporation moved manufacturing to Rome, New York in 1933, just as metal furniture was gaining popularity; the company’s products were sold out of a showroom in New York City on Park Avenue. As a manufacturer, McArthur filed numerous patent designs which he utilized in advertisements to exhibit the innovations he developed. The company also proudly printed patent numbers on furniture...

An irregular, rock-like configuration splits apart to form the base sections for this coffee table. Each structure echoes the other’s form, emphasising where they were once joined together
A timer-led algorithm produces an infinite number of perfectly aligned geometric shapes. Once paused, a new unique form is generated, meaning no two tables are ever created the same.
Supporting a sumptuous, curved table-top, Kronos is made beautiful...

Antique, New and Vintage Coffee Tables and Cocktail Tables
As a practical focal point in your living area, antique and vintage coffee tables and cocktail tables are an invaluable addition to any interior.
Low tables that were initially used as tea tables or coffee tables have been around since at least the mid- to late-1800s. Early coffee tables surfaced in Victorian-era England, likely influenced by the use of tea tables in Japanese tea gardens. In the United States, furniture makers worked to introduce low, long tables into their offerings as the popularity of coffee and “coffee breaks” took hold during the late 19th century and early 20th century.
It didn’t take long for coffee tables and cocktail tables to become a design staple and for consumers to recognize their role in entertaining no matter what beverages were being served. Originally, these tables were as simple as they are practical — as high as your sofa and made primarily of wood. In recent years, however, metal, glass and plastics have become popular in coffee tables and cocktail tables, and design hasn’t been restricted to the conventional low profile, either.
Visionary craftspeople such as Paul Evans introduced bold, geometric designs that challenge the traditional idea of what a coffee table can be. The elongated rectangles and wide boxy forms of Evans’s desirable Cityscape coffee table, for example, will meet your needs but undoubtedly prove imposing in your living space.
If you’re shopping for an older coffee table to bring into your home — be it an antique Georgian-style coffee table made of mahogany or walnut with decorative inlays or a classic square mid-century modern piece comprised of rosewood designed by the likes of Ettore Sottsass — there are a few things you should keep in mind.
Both the table itself and what you put on it should align with the overall design of the room, not just by what you think looks fashionable in isolation. According to interior designer Tamara Eaton, the material of your vintage coffee table is something you need to consider. “With a glass coffee table, you also have to think about the surface underneath, like the rug or floor,” she says. “With wood and stone tables, you think about what’s on top.”
Find the perfect centerpiece for any room, no matter what your personal furniture style on 1stDibs. Browse a vast selection of antique, new and vintage coffee table and cocktail tables today.
