Calligaris Lamp Tables

Start with where a lamp or occasional table will sit and what you want to use it for. A table beside a sofa needs to be comfortable to reach, so the height of the sofa arm and the position in which you normally sit are more useful starting points than choosing a table from appearance alone.

Match the height to the job

A taller table can work well beside a higher sofa arm or further back in the room with a lamp or plant. A lower table may be more convenient when you want somewhere close at hand for a drink, book or remote control.

Using two or more smaller tables at different heights can give you both functions without requiring one piece to do everything. It can also make the arrangement easier to change as the room is used differently.

Think of occasional furniture as part of the whole room

Calligaris offers lamp and occasional tables in finishes that can relate to its dining and cabinet furniture. In an open-plan space, repeating a ceramic, metal or other finish can help different areas feel connected without buying a complete matching furniture collection.
