What to put on a coffee table
Put one low sculptural piece on your coffee table, or a pair in two heights. Add a book or two. Then leave space to put a cup down.
Where should the piece go?
Choose the shape of your table to see where to place the piece.
- Round table: place one 24 cm piece a little off the centre. Put a book beside it.
- Rectangular table: place a 24 cm and 18 cm pair towards one end. Put a book or two at the other end.
- Square table: place one 24 cm piece in one corner. Put a book or two in the opposite corner.
These are suggestions, not rules. Whatever the shape, keep some clear space for a cup.
Which size suits a coffee table?
- 24 cm is the size most people choose.
- 18 cm suits a small table, or the smaller piece in a pair.
- 34 cm is usually too tall for a coffee table.
A low piece lets you see across the room from the sofa.
Which WINKOO piece suits a coffee table?
The photo shows Noma in Jade Green on a round coffee table. Noma is our most chosen shape, and Jade Green is our most chosen colour.
A 24 cm Noma costs A$169. You can find the 18 cm size with our sculptural vases.
The material is corn-based, so the vase is not heavy like ceramic. It is easy to move when you need the whole table.
Should you choose one piece or a pair?
One piece is enough on a small table. A pair often looks better on a long one.
If a 24 cm piece looks a bit empty, add an 18 cm piece beside it. Two heights give the spot a clear shape.
Your room doesn't need more. It needs the right piece, or the right pair.
What else belongs on the table?
A book or two is enough. You can keep the things you use every day. Choose your piece in a colour the room already has, such as the colour of a cushion.
Every vase is watertight, so you can add flowers when you like. Most weeks it will look finished without them.
