Choosing the Right Size for Your Coffee Table

Before choosing a model, grab a tape measure and take three measurements: the length of your sofa, the free space in front of it, and the height of its seat. That’s all you need to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Length: proportional to the sofa

A coffee table that’s too long overwhelms the sofa, while one that’s too short looks lost. Our models measure between 100 and 110 cm long: Solène, Célestin and Léandre are 100 cm, Orphée is 106 cm and Albane is 110 cm.

Depth: leave enough room to move around

Think about the space between the table and the sofa. In a small living room, Orphée is the narrowest, with a depth of 44 cm. Solène, Célestin and Léandre are 50 cm, while Albane is 52 cm.

Height: depending on how you use it

If you mainly use the table to set down a tray or some books, a low height is ideal: Léandre is 35 cm high, Albane 36 cm. If you like working or dining in front of the sofa, choose a lift-top model: Solène’s top rises to 62 cm, and Orphée’s to 63 cm.

Storage: what you want to keep out of sight

Remote controls and chargers have their place in a compartment under the top (Orphée, Solène, Albane). For items you want to reach without lifting anything, choose a drawer and doors (Léandre) or side compartments (Célestin).

You can find all the measurements on the Coffee tables page, under the Specifications tab for each model.
