I recently read an article in
Stylelist Home that declared coffee tables on the extinction list. While I fully agree that ottomans, stools and trunks that can be used for double-duty are very functional, I still love a coffee table. Might it have something to do with the fact that I eat every meal in front of the TV? Maybe. But it's also that a table is where you can show off a bit of personality. It's a piece of art. I love the craftsmanship of handmade and vintage tables, and the sleek lines of a modern table that perfectly shows off a great display on top of it.
Some examples to convince you:

So, vive la coffee table?
I love looking at/day dreaming about coffee tables because I still don't have one in our family room. You choose some lovely examples -- I especially like that C and B one.
ReplyDeleteI've been searching CL for months for a new coffee table. Your inspirations photos are great! I've enjoyed having a coffee table in our family room and an ottoman in the game room.
ReplyDeleteThe first one is gorgeous, absolutely my favorite...if I needed a coffee table!
