Yoko Coffe Table, in canaletto Walnut, by Serena Confalonieri for Medulum
Located in Meolo, Venezia
Yoko collection designed by Serena Confalo- nieri for Medulum consists of 3 wooden coffee tables. The pieces are characterized by the repetition of trian- gular elements, which visually refer to the Japanese art of origami. This recourse to geometric repetition is further high- lighted through the creation of an embossed linear texture which, on the surface, generates further ge- ometries, while, on the legs, it leads to different front and back of the surface, just like a sheet of paper. Various heights and sizes allow this coffee table collection to be placed both inside private homes, living and sleeping areas, and in public and hospitality facilities. The Yoko coffee tables...

Wooden Coffee Table, Fishes Series 18 by Joel Escalona
Located in Ciudad de México, CDMX
Fishes is a series of sculptural coffee tables inspired by the famous Fish (1930) sculpture of Rumanian artist Constantin Brancusi. Brancusi's work has been widely regarded as a masterpiece of modern art, and his Fish sculpture remain an iconic symbol of his artistic vision. The Fishes Coffee Tables series is a tribute to Brancusi's mastery of creating a sense of tranquility and serenity. Each coffee table in this collection is meticulously shaped from natural finish or black-tinted oak wood or walnut. The design process for the Fishes Coffee Tables collection was deeply stimulated by Brancusi's Fish sculpture, with each coffee table featuring soft and rounded forms that capture the fluidity and motion of aquatic life with simplicity and elegance. The sculptural forms of the Fishes Coffee Tables by NONO Furniture reflect this aesthetic, evoking a sense of quietness and stillness. The natural beauty and rich texture of oak and walnut create a warm and inviting atmosphere that is both elegant and sophisticated, making the Fishes Coffee Tables collection a perfect addition to any home decor. Each coffee table in the Fishes Series...

Antique and Vintage Wood Coffee Tables for Sale: Shop Burl-Wood Coffee Tables, Rosewood Coffee Tables and More

As a practical focal point in your living area, antique and vintage wood coffee tables and cocktail tables are an invaluable addition to any interior. 

Originally, these tables were as simple as they are practical — as high as your sofa and made primarily of wood. And even as metal, glass and plastics have become popular in coffee tables and cocktail tables, natural materials like wood and stone remain consistently in demand, as designers report a desire to bring natural aesthetics into the home. Walnut coffee tables, rosewood coffee tables and other pieces of wood furniture remind us of the wider world outside our walls and help create a peaceful, soothing atmosphere.  

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. 

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 — shop a collection of antique and vintage wood coffee tables and cocktail tables today.
