From sculptural silhouettes to playful forms, these statement tables prove that the right piece can define a space
The right furniture can completely change the feel of a room. This edit brings together statement tables with plenty of personality—from Tokie by Minotti’s clean, pared-back shape to Moooi’s more playful Urbanhike. Some are sleek, some sculptural, some deliberately a little odd, but all have one thing in common: they’re hard to overlook.
Tokie by Minotti
Tokie epitomises understated sophistication. Defined by a monolithic cylinder base supporting a sleek, slender disc top, this stylish coffee table comes in polished steel or painted in rich plum and bronze, with each variant accentuating Tokie’s distinctive minimalistic profile.
B&B Italia Gli Scacchi by Mario Bellini
The modular versatility of the Camaleonda sofa system, devised in 1970 by Mario Bellini, is reinterpreted in these winsome side tables. Drawing inspiration from the game of chess, they depict a three-dimensional board and evoke the spirit of different gambits—aptly named Regina, Cavallo and Torre, after the queen, knight and rook, respectively. These side tables, which double as seats, offer unparalleled lightness and mobility, echoing the strategic manoeuvres of pieces on a chessboard.
Viccarbe Bamba
A creation of Pedro Paulo-Venzon for the Spanish brand Viccarbe, the Bamba Low Table represents the symbiosis of sculpture and balance. This piece revisits the high modernism period of Brazilian design while reinventing the tradition of Brazilian furniture. With a metal tabletop and base composed of a circle and two metal rods that evoke a ‘slashed O’, it also stands as a nod to the designer’s signature style.
Fendi Earring coffee table
Its name says it all: the Earring coffee table is the furniture equivalent of Fendi’s diminutive accessory. Designed by architect-designer Cristina Celestino, the coffee table features a circular marble top and base in brushed gold steel, evoking femininity and the brand’s timeless elegance. Boasting two different heights and top sizes, alongside a selection of finishes and types of marble, the Earring coffee table is a definite conversation piece.
Moooi Urbanhike
Moooi, the Dutch design brand co-founded by Marcel Wanders and Casper Vissers, is known for its defiance of design norms. Exemplifying this ethos is the Urbanhike table by Wanders, a side table that integrates a walking stick as one of its legs. This piece not only exudes whimsical appeal but also exemplifies Moooi’s commitment to quality, innovation and style.
Dekton by Cosentino
Dekton by Cosentino, touted as the ‘skin of furniture’, offers an array of beautiful stone-like and carbon-neutral ultracompact porcelain surfaces with varying degrees of thicknesses tailored to diverse furnishing needs. These bespoke cubic block side tables, sheathed in large-format Dekton Aura, are just a glimpse into the boundless possibilities this innovative and high-performance material affords. Dekton makes it possible to coat anything from small, detailed surfaces to grand statement pieces.
