Monumental Coffee Table

It began as a farm table, the kind a family gathered around for three meals a day and every occasion in between, before someone cut its legs down and set it low to live a second life. Found in Aix-en-Provence, it carries a thick, scarred plank top with a molded edge, resting on four heavy square legs braced by a long H-stretcher that runs the length of the base. In Provence a table like this was the most important piece in the house, built to outlast the people who made it and passed down rather than replaced. Sylvie would let it anchor a room the way it once anchored a kitchen, low and unbothered, holding books and candlelight instead of the harvest.
