Organic Shaped Natural Plaster Coffee Table "Ovum" 150 by Isabelle Beaumont
Located in Ranst, BE
Contemporary Belgian design / Handcrafted / Organic shape / Ecological material / Natural lime plaster / Concrete look / Made on demand Latin adjective “ovum” /ˈo.u̯um/: egg Color pictures: BM08.5 Caffe Latté Ultra Light Indoor use (price outdoor +10%) The Ovum coffee table is handcrafted with multiple layers Mortex® on a wooden base. Mortex is a premium quality natural plaster that has already been used for years for bathrooms, floors/stairs, walls, swimming pools, etc. In terms of composition, it is similar to products like Betoncire or Venetian plaster, but Mortex does not contain epoxy or polyurethane resins and is waterproof by nature. The structure and color shades that arises after the application of the plaster leaves the signature of the craftsman. This makes each piece unique. The plaster has the same characteristics as natural stone and is very easy to maintain after the multiple layer coating. Due to the flexibility of the material, the color and shape possibilities are endless. With a focus on quality and durability, Atelier...

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.
