Black Coffee Tables

What is a black coffee table and which material?

Our black coffee tables come in three main versions: black finished solid mango (stained and lacquered), black marble such as Marquina or Nero, and wooden tops on a black steel base. The combination of wood and steel gives an industrial look, while solid wood with a black lacquer looks sleek and modern. Marble adds a luxurious, natural feel with a vein pattern of its own. Models range from a Danish oval design to an oval mango wood table.

Which size and shape do you choose?

Match the coffee table to the size of your seating area and to the walkways around it. Keep enough space between the sofa and the table so you can walk past and around it comfortably. An oval or round coffee table looks softer and is welcome in smaller or busy rooms because there are no sharp corners, while a rectangular model offers more surface and lines up crisply with a straight sofa. Feel free to experience the models in our showroom to judge the proportions properly.

How do you combine a black coffee table?

A black coffee table works as an anchor piece in the living room. For contrast, combine it with a light sofa in cognac leather or beige fabric and a light floor, which gives a graphic, contemporary effect. For a consistent, rugged mood, choose a dark sofa instead, so the table blends into the whole. Black suits modern and industrial styles best.

Do you choose wood or marble?

Black finished solid wood is warm, robust and forgiving in use. Black marble is available in Nero Marquina, with black and white veins, and Saint Laurent, in black-brown: that looks dramatic and luxurious. Marble is a natural product, so ask in the showroom about current availability and the possible options. That way you choose the version that suits your interior and the way you use it.

How do you care for a black coffee table?

For lacquered wood, a damp cloth with mild soapy water is enough, followed by rubbing dry straight away. Clean black marble with a pH-neutral cleaner and rub it dry afterwards; do not use acidic or abrasive products. On a lacquered wooden table the care is minimal, provided the wood is well finished with a UV protective lacquer. With both materials, avoid prolonged direct sunlight to prevent discolouration.
