Vintage coffee tables and used coffee tables: teak, glass, design classics

1 4

The coffee table is the piece where life happens: coffee, books, feet. A used one has already withstood it once.

At 2nd home you will find vintage coffee tables and used coffee tables from second hand: Danish teak by Grete Jalk and Hartmut Lohmeyer, marble and glass by Knoll International, classics like the X800 by Alvar Aalto for Artek, designs by Vitra, Cassina and Fritz Hansen, plus kidney tables and space age shapes of the 1960s and 1970s. Every table is described with all dimensions. Smaller companions await among the side tables, the full range among the tables.

What should you look for in a used coffee table?

At the top: glass must be free of chips, marble may show patina but no cracks, wood tolerates scratches but not deep water marks. Check the height, because 40 to 45 centimetres suit most sofas, and the stability. Everything we know is stated with every piece, and on glass tops we photograph the edges, because that is where the chips sit.

Teak, marble or glass?

Teak brings warmth and suits mid-century sofas as well as a modern two-seater. Marble is heavy and stately, a Knoll table with a marble top carries an entire living room. Glass makes small rooms lighter because the floor stays visible. Used, you get all three well below list price.

Why buy used?

Because the good designs are sought after by collectors and a second-hand coffee table carries the marks that make it credible. You save against list price, get a piece with history and keep it in use; furniture of this kind was often built for heavy daily use.
