Functional and Beautiful Coffee Tables

At Artspire, every coffee table is designed around how it will be used every day, so height, edge shape and material weight are all decided before the finish. Table height sits two to four centimetres below a standard sofa cushion, so you can reach a cup or a laptop without leaning forward, and edges are rounded on tables that sit low and close to seating.

Material choice follows the same logic. Some stone pieces, like the Stone Coffee Table, use an aluminium honeycomb core beneath the natural travertine, which keeps the table lighter than solid stone without changing the look, so it is easier to move for a clean or a rearrangement. Others, like the Round Travertine Coffee Table, are solid stone throughout, which adds weight and a stable base, better suited to a table that stays put through family gatherings. Steel pieces work the same way: the Chic Steel Table's stainless steel body weighs just 13 kilograms, light enough to shift on your own, while the Angelo Coffee Table Set pairs a carbon steel base with tempered glass for a heavier set built to anchor a room. Either way, the material is chosen for how it holds up over time, not just how it looks on day one.

Which Coffee Table Suits Your Space?

The right coffee table depends on your room and how you live in it. Here is what we recommend:

- Small apartments: a round table, such as the Elevated Dome Side Table or Alex Coffee Table, keeps walkways clear in a tight living room, and both weigh under 10 kilograms if you need to move them.

- Renting or moving often: lightweight designs like the Chic Steel Table or Acier Chic Coffee Table are easy to move on your own and do not mark timber floors.

- Young families: the Cloud Coffee Table has no sharp corners, which Artspire designs specifically for households with young children or pets.

- Open plan living: a set such as the Angelo Coffee Table Set or Celian Coffee Table Set adds a matching side table, giving you extra surface without one large table taking over the room.

- Natural stone lovers: travertine tops, such as the Stone Coffee Table or Round Travertine Coffee Table, are durable and need resealing once a year.

Made for Daily Use

A coffee table gets used every day: a cup rests on it, magazines stack up, feet go up after work. That is why storage matters as much as shape. The ChicNest Table nests smaller tables under the main surface, giving extra space when guests arrive without adding another piece of furniture to the room. Materials are chosen for daily use, too. Steel and glass tops wipe clean in seconds. Travertine tops handle everyday spills if wiped promptly, but acidic spills like wine or citrus need cleaning up quickly to avoid etching.

FAQ

What size coffee table works best in front of a sofa?

Two-thirds of the sofa length is the rule of thumb. Height should be 2–4 cm below the sofa cushion. For a 220 cm sofa, look at coffee tables in the 130–145 cm range.

How do I care for a stone coffee table?

Wipe spills immediately with a damp cloth. Re-seal travertine every 12 months and marble every 18–24 months using a food-safe impregnating sealer. Avoid acidic cleaners (vinegar, citrus) — they etch both stones.

Are stone tables safe for apartments and timber floors?

Most are. Solid travertine is around 30% lighter than equivalent marble. For raised timber subfloors at 600 mm joist centres, choose pieces under 80 kg or distribute weight via a rug pad.
