Art Deco Coffee Tables

SET A MONUMENTAL MOOD WITH ART DECO COFFEE TABLES

Nothing adds ballast to a room like an Art Deco coffee table. A category consisting of tables made around the 1920s as well as tables inspired by 1920s designs, Art Deco coffee tables are revered for their streamlined design and luxurious construction materials. For a classic take on a Deco coffee table, consider a French or Swedish table. These dramatic tables often feature exotic woods—think: flame mahogany and satin birchwood—and elegant streamlined designs that are ideal for pairing with other Art Deco designs as well as more traditional styles like Neoclassical. If you’re looking for an Art Deco coffee table that pays homage to the era’s affinity for classical statuary, consider a table from a maker like Maitland-Smith. Although the brand emerged decades after Art Deco’s heyday, they have repeatedly used the era as design inspiration. Try one of their iconic greyhound or whippit coffee tables to lend a room a playful twist. Consisting of three figral dogs set stop a stepped pedestal and topped with a circular piece of glass, these tables evoke both the grandeur and the ebullient spirit of the era. Maitland-Smith is also a brand worth exploring if you’re on hunt for a white deco coffee table or Art Deco marble coffee table. During the Art Deco revival of the 1980s, Maitland-Smith produced dozens of white Deco coffee tables that cross the streamlined principles of the Art Deco era with the monumental proportions that late 20th century designers like Karl Springer put into play.
