Why we like them
Evoking the elegant Directoire-era campaign-inspired furniture, these very chic little tables are both decorative and useful, perfect as coffee or cocktail tables or even bedside stands. Their striking hand-painted decoration is reminiscent of the sumptuous settings conjured up by the wizard Renzo Mongiardino, one of the greatest interior decorators of the 20th century.
