Merian Coffee table

Design

The Merian coffee table, designed by Margherita Fanti for the 2025 Coffee Tables collection, is all about a clear, simple idea executed with precision. A solid metallic base rises to support a fluid, glossy surface, creating a low, sculptural presence in the room. The soft, rounded lines catch and release light in a subtle way, so the table looks different as the day moves on. Nothing shouts, yet every curve is deliberate, giving the piece a calm, contemporary character that sits easily with both clean-lined and more eclectic interiors.

Materials & Build

At the core is a sturdy metal structure, finished in a carefully worked metallic surface. The base anchors the design and gives the table its reassuring stability, while the upper surface is smooth and reflective without feeling fragile. With a height of about 14.8 inches and a generous diameter of roughly 51.2 inches, the proportions feel balanced and substantial. Weighing around 88.2 pounds and occupying close to 41 cubic feet, the table has a solid presence that speaks to Capital’s focus on considered construction rather than excess detail.

Comfort in Everyday Use

Comfort in a coffee table is about how naturally it fits daily routines. The Merian’s low profile makes it easy to reach from a sofa or lounge chair, whether setting down a book, a tray, or simply resting a hand on the edge. The gently softened contours are kind to movement around the piece, avoiding sharp interruptions in the flow of a living space. It feels approachable, not formal, which is exactly what a table in constant use should be.

Placement & Lifestyle

This design is made to sit confidently at the heart of a room. Its glossy, fluid surface pairs well with textured upholstery, plush rugs, or more minimal settings, adapting without losing its character. In an open-plan living area, the table can act as a visual anchor, pulling a seating group together without appearing bulky. And in a more compact space, its rounded silhouette helps circulation, encouraging movement around it rather than blocking it. The Merian brings a quiet sense of order to everyday living, whether in a city apartment or a larger home.

Longevity

Built entirely around a metallic base and finish, the table is designed for consistent, long-term use. The weight and construction give it a dependable feel, so it stays where it should and stands up well to being used, not just admired. With simple, regular cleaning and a bit of care around the glossy surface, it will hold its composed look for years. That steady reliability is very much in line with Capital’s approach: pieces that blend into daily life yet retain their presence over time.
