Our collection covers coffee tables, console tables, side tables and nesting tables in solid timber, marble, glass and powder-coated steel from leading British and international designers.

    Aim for a coffee table around two-thirds the length of the sofa – a 200cm sofa pairs well with a 130-140cm coffee table. Width should leave 40-45cm of clear floor between the sofa edge and the table for leg room. Heights between 38cm and 46cm work for most sofa seat heights.

    Both ends, where the sofa allows. Each end of a sofa wants somewhere to put a glass and a lamp; missing one creates an asymmetry that's hard to ignore. The exception is a sofa with one armless end deliberately placed against a wall – there, a single side table works at the open end.

    Tonally yes; identically no. A matched set of three reads as showroom; pieces that share a material or finish but vary in form read as collected. A common pairing is a marble coffee table with timber side tables in the same warm tone, or a timber coffee with steel side tables sharing the same finish family.

    In smaller living rooms, yes – the smaller table tucks under the larger one when not needed and pulls out when there's company or when an armchair needs its own surface. In larger rooms, nesting tables can read as fussy compared to a single substantial coffee table. The format suits compact spaces better than generous ones.

The mesmerising forms of the Northern Lights are blended with a palette of warm orange and yellow tones to create a relaxed, summer feel... The sleek, modern lines of Georg Jensen’s glass and white china dinnerware ranges are complemented by the abstract forms found within the brightly coloured Splash bowls from Da Terra plus Pols Pottens range of Bubbles Tumblers.” Sun kissed dishes: Splash Dinnerware from £15, Cobra Dinner Plate £19, Bubbles Tumbler in Orange £6, Edge Red Wine Glass £40 (set of two), Santol Cutlery from £12, Linen Napkin in Slate £10 and Connaught Vase in red £55. “In amongst these statement pieces, a subtle mix of metallic finishes adds an opulence to this informal setting as shown by the Ilse Small Brass Bowl and rose gold embellished Edge wine glasses. This setting is designed for chilled out dinner parties on glorious summer evenings with the injection of vibrant oranges offset by cool navy blues.” Metallic touches: Edge Red Wine Glass £40 (set of two), Cobra Glass Carafe £54, Ilse Small Brass Bowl £105 all by Georg Jensen.

    • 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.
