Vintage coffee tables
The coffee table is the piece everything else gathers around, so it deserves more than a flat-pack compromise. Right now Whoppah has 3,234 vintage coffee tables on offer, with the 1970s as the leading decade, closely followed by the 1960s and 1980s. That means slate-and-stone brutalist tops, low mid-century teak surfaces and glass-and-chrome designs that let a rug show through.
Roche Bobois and Cassina supply the polished Italian and French classics, Knoll brings sculptural bases, and Pastoe and Fritz Hansen cover the calmer Dutch and Danish end. Paul Kingma's mosaic and natural-stone tables are a category of their own and appear regularly, alongside Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand pieces reissued by Cassina and rustic brutalist work by Daro. Wood, glass, metal, marble and brass are the materials you will meet most often, with iron bases on the heavier designs.
Every table is reviewed by our curation team before it goes live. Place a bid, buy now, or message the seller for extra photos, then have it delivered insured anywhere in Europe.
Vintage coffee table
A vintage coffee table adds a touch of nostalgia and character to your living room. Vintage furniture is usually considered to be items that are at least 20 to 100 years old and have a unique aesthetic influenced by the time they were made.
Material coffee table
A vintage coffee table can be made of different materials, such as a stone, glass or travertine coffee table. Stone coffee tables usually have a robust and solid design, making them a striking addition to the interior. Travertine is a type of limestone often used in construction and interior design because of its attractive appearance and durability. The glass coffee table adds a modern and airy feel to any living room. Whether you choose an all-stone coffee table or a combination of glass and stone, these furniture pieces are timeless and can add a sense of sophistication and natural beauty to your living room. They are a great choice for lovers of natural materials and those looking for a statement piece that can become the focal point of the room.
Design coffee table.
A designer coffee table is a piece of furniture that is not only functional, but also makes a statement in your interior. Design coffee tables are designed with attention to aesthetics, innovation and craftsmanship, making them stand out and add value to the room. The design of a designer coffee table can range from minimalist and sleek to bold and artistic. Materials such as glass, wood, metal, plastic and marble are often used to create striking tables to suit different interior styles. Besides their striking appearance, designer coffee tables are often functional. They can have additional features, such as built-in storage, extendable elements, rotating table tops or even integrated lighting. Examples of well-known designer coffee tables are:
Frequently Asked Questions
Why buy a vintage coffee table
One of the advantages of choosing a vintage coffee table is the durability and quality of old furniture. They are often handcrafted and made to last. Having a vintage piece in your interior gives a sense of authenticity and uniqueness, as it is not reproduced like modern furniture. Moreover, using vintage furniture contributes to sustainability, as you are reusing what already exists instead of buying new products.
What should you look out for when buying a vintage coffee table?
- Condition: Check the overall condition of the table, such as scratches, dents, loose parts, and other damages.
- Style and design: Choose a coffee table that suits your interior style and taste. Styles vary enormously from mid-century to retro.
- Durability: Pay attention to the quality and construction of the furniture to ensure it will last for many years in your home.
How do I recognise a real Paul Kingma coffee table?
Kingma tables have a concrete or resin top inlaid with slate, ceramic, brass and natural stone in a geometric or organic pattern, often set on a steel or wooden frame. Many are signed and dated on the top edge or underside, so ask the seller for a photo of the signature. Weight is another clue, as originals are extremely heavy. Our curators review Kingma attributions, but a signature and period photos add certainty.
What height should a vintage coffee table be?
Aim for a top that sits level with or a few centimetres below your sofa seat cushions, which for most vintage sofas means 35 to 45 centimetres. Low 1970s tables around 30 centimetres suit deep lounge seating, while 1960s Danish tables tend to be a touch taller. Each listing on Whoppah shows exact dimensions, so measure your seat height first and compare.
How do I care for marble, stone and glass table tops?
Marble and travertine are porous, so wipe spills quickly and use a stone-safe cleaner rather than anything acidic. Slate and ceramic inlays on brutalist tables can be sealed with a matt stone sealer once a year. Glass tops need only a soft cloth and glass cleaner, and felt pads under decorative objects prevent scratches. Avoid dragging heavy tables, since the base joints are often the weakest point.
