Calm weathered tones and clever engineering come together in this small rectangle coffee table, a space-saving perch that rises and lowers to suit whatever you are doing. The top and base wear a soft grey wood-effect finish with gentle grain markings, joined by a charcoal-black upright column. Tuck the base beneath your settee or bed frame and the surface hovers right where you need it, whether that is for a morning flat white, a film-night bowl of popcorn or an open notebook.

Grey Wood Effect with a Charcoal Column

Both rectangular boards carry a muted grey-greige woodgrain print that recalls driftwood and limewashed timber. The darker upright adds definition without feeling heavy, so the piece blends quietly with oatmeal fabrics, slate cushions, sheepskin throws and natural oak flooring. It suits Nordic, coastal and understated modern rooms equally well.

Raise It or Lower It in Seconds

Unscrew the upright's knob a little, move the surface to your chosen level and twist to secure. At its lowest, 46.5cm, it behaves like a conventional lamp table beside a couch arm. Extended fully to 83cm, it becomes a handy perch for typing, sketching or eating supper while you stay comfortably seated. One piece, many roles, no clutter.

Groove for Phones and Tablets

Cut into the rear edge of the board is a channel that keeps a mobile or slim tablet standing up at a readable angle. Follow a cooking video, keep a group chat in sight or watch a series while you relax, all hands-free. Everything else on the 40.1 by 30cm board stays free for a mug, plate or wireless keyboard.
