Coffee Tables

Our coffee tables range from low-slung marble drums to cantilevered glass-topped frames and solid timber plinths. Each is proportioned around the sofa it'll sit in front of, chosen for the balance of surface area, visual weight and material tone, all the pieces that let the coffee table hold tea trays and magazines without visually crowding the room.

    A coffee table is ideally two-thirds the length of the sofa it sits in front of, giving it visual presence without dwarfing the seating. Leave 40 to 45cm of clearance between the sofa front and the table edge, enough to walk past comfortably but close enough to reach a mug without leaning awkwardly forward.

    Coffee tables work best at 38 to 45cm high, roughly level with or slightly below the sofa seat cushion. Heights above 45cm start to feel like a dining surface, while anything below 35cm reads as a stool and makes drinks harder to reach. Pair taller tables with higher sofas and lower tables with mid-century sectionals for a balanced line.

    Rectangular tables suit long three- or four-seater sofas and provide the most surface area for trays and books. Round and oval tables soften a room's geometry and work especially well with L-shaped sofas or corner arrangements, eliminating sharp corners from high-traffic routes. Square tables suit two-seater layouts or paired sofas facing each other.

    Matching coffee and side tables give a cohesive set look, but contrasting the two materials creates depth, so a marble coffee table paired with timber side tables tells a richer material story. Keep the heights related, within 10 to 15cm of each other, to preserve visual harmony across the whole seating arrangement.

    • Create This Urban Scandi Style Table Setting
      Create This Urban Scandi Style Table Setting
      For the second instalment of his masterclass in Scandi style table settings, acclaimed interior stylist Emilio Pimentel-Reid talks us through his ‘Urban Copenhagen’ Dining display. Urban Copenhagen “Celebrating the fun side of Denmark’s capital, these sleek Scandinavian styles pair perfectly with urban interiors. Formal but with an out-there edge, this Scandi table and dining setting is the ideal way to wow your guests. Sparkle and shine: Henning Koppel Pitcher £275, Cobra Glass Carafe £54, Cobra Candelabra £140, Cobra Tumbler in Medium £25 (set of two), Cobra Dinner Plate £19 and Cobra Candle Holder £26 all from Georg Jensen shown with White Marble Cheese Board £75, LSA Wine Glassware from £30 and Santol Cutlery from £12, True Grace Dinner Candle £3 and Linen Napkin in Denim Blue £10. “A Scandi institution, Georg Jensen have been crafting elegant silver for over a century. So when it came to curating this sophisticated selection, I simply had to build around their sculptural silver centrepieces such as the Henning Koppel Pitcher and Cobra Candelabra. These modern forms are mirrored by other dinner and glassware pieces from Georg Jensen’s Cobra range. To provide accents of colour, incorporate bouquets of flowers and candles in a range of tones - I have used faux flowers from Abigail Ahern and Dinner Candles from True Grace.” Take a seat: Lau Dining Table by Stua £1655 shown with Offcut Stool by Tom Dixon £150, Eames DKR Chair £459, Laclasica Chair by Stua £335 and Sonny P Carver Chair in Cemento Grey Wool £325. “To emphasise the gleaming silver, white china and glassware table setting, I have paired with the Lau Dining Table by Stua - the Dark Ash finish creates a sultry contrast that evokes the dark nordic forests found throughout the region. The use of mix and match chairs nods to the eclecticism of Scandi style; the Laclasica Chair by Stua continues the theme of dark woods; the Sonny P Carver Chair contrasts with its upholstered shell; while the iconic Eames DKW Chair is functional minimalism at its finest.” — Now that you've mastered the art of the swanky Scandi table display, why not try your hand at Emilio's Midnight Sun setting or start building your own by browsing our contemporary dining room furniture.
