This small, elegant piece of furniture was invented in England in the 19th century. The first coffee table was designed by Edward William Godwin. He invented a coffee table so that those sitting on low sofas or armchairs could put cups of coffee or tea on it. Godwin's first desk was too high, but the designer quickly concluded that it was uncomfortable for those sitting in a chair close to the floor, and corrected the mistake by shortening his legs a little.
Coffee tables quickly gained popularity in British society. People who could not afford to buy something fashionable, cut off the legs of ordinary tables to the desired height.
By the early twentieth century, the coffee table was firmly established. These irreplaceable pieces of furniture are made from a wide variety of materials. The first coffee tables were made of wood, but over time metal, glass and even plastic models appeared.
Now coffee tables are actively used to create the interiors of living rooms. Designers often use this piece of furniture to create an accent in the interior and make the coffee table the center of attention. Modern coffee tables are made from a wide variety of materials, from glass to stone, but the most common material is wood in various shapes. Coffee tables come in a wide variety of colors and sizes, but generally shouldn't be higher than a sofa or chair. Most often, modern designers use technological innovations when creating these items. Like smart lighting, control units for household appliances and other interesting things.
