Gabe and I have noticed, especially when we travel in large European cities where square footage is at a premium, the furnishings are just big enough to perform their duties. We actually came up with a name for the ultra-slim accent tables we saw in almost every hotel room: drinks tables, we dubbed them because they’re just wide enough for a couple of glasses.

I think they’re brilliant in any small living space--slip one or two of our Moderne Drinks Tables by a sofa or armchair, and you don’t need anything more. Its slim brass base is hugged at the bottom by a sturdy sphere of marble, and a marble round also serves as the top. It’s an old-fashioned French beauty that looks decidedly modern.
