Found in Montpellier, this early-20th-century pedestal table is a guéridon, the small round table the French kept on hand to pull up wherever it was wanted. The single turned column means there are no legs out front to knock your knees, so a chair can draw right up beside it for a coffee, a candle, or a book set down mid-chapter. Tables like this drifted around a room for a hundred years, never the main piece but always the one within reach. Sylvie uses it beside a chair or a bed with a small lamp and a glass of water, the kind of table you stop noticing because it is always exactly where you need it.
