It was only natural that the next move to make with the success of the Tulip Table, was to move into miniaturising the design to include the Tulip Occasional Side and Tulip Coffee Tables. A way of being able to adapt into the living space, perhaps, but more an ingenuous way of displaying just how adaptable this stand-out design is. Available in all the same finishes as their bigger brother, the famous Tulip Table, the Tulip Occasional Side and Tulip Coffee variants were also offered in round and oval shapes to cater comfortably for any space they wanted to be used in.
The perfect accompaniment to the faithful sofa, the coffee table has always been a constant in our living rooms. Deftly positioned, usually, proudly in the centre, it is still seen to be the statement piece that brings the room together. The Tulip Coffee Tables’ smooth design style of the, almost, floating top resting purposefully above the iconic ‘Tulip’ base brings a certain level of sophistication to the room which quite easily makes it either stand out on its own or blend seamlessly in with the other furniture.
Including the Tulip Coffee Table in the fold was paramount to the cultural changes of the time. During the mid-century period, the living room morphed into the ‘family room’ as the likes of the television grew in popularity. This, in turn, saw the humble little coffee tables’ own role become ever more important. Used to house the all-important TV magazine guide and/or newspaper and the drinks – and even snacks – during the family’s favourite show, it became almost ubiquitous with the sofa and TV; and a symbiotic relationship emerged between all three.
The addition of the Tulip Occasional Side Table further expanded the potential and usability of the design. Now it could be used as an occasional table in any room; a bed side table, an ornamental piece in the hallway, or even as an end table in the living room to join the Tulip Coffee Table, making it even easier to have a Tulip Table due to just how effortlessly the smallest of all the variants fitted in. The presence of the Tulip Occasional Side Table alongside its siblings allowed the lucky purchaser to enjoy the versatility of the ‘full set’ if they were interested.
