James Coffee Table D88

Design

The James Coffee Table D88 from Talenti distills the easy poise of the James collection into a compact, circular form. Designed by T-young, it favors clean geometry over flourish. Three legs meet a subtle cross element, giving the silhouette a quiet energy and a grounded stance. The proportions feel considered: a generous round top without excess mass, a base that reads light yet surefooted. It’s the kind of piece that doesn’t compete with a room, it clarifies it. And it does so with a confidence that’s understated rather than loud.

Materials & Build

The frame is powder-coated aluminum, chosen for its balance of lightness and resilience. The top is gres, a dense, refined ceramic that pairs design purity with material strength. Together they create a surface that feels crisp to the eye and reliable to the touch. The table measures 22.8 inches in diameter and stands 15.7 inches high, so it sits right where a hand naturally lands. At roughly 11 pounds, it moves easily when needed yet stays planted in use. The structure’s three legs, braced by the cross connector, add stability without visual weight. It arrives as a single piece, ready to place.

Comfort

Comfort, here, is about effortless reach and easy flow. The circular top invites access from any side, with no corners to navigate. Height and scale keep books, cups, and remotes close without crowding seating. The gres surface feels cool and even, making it a calm setting for everyday objects. Nothing fussy, nothing precious—just a pleasant landing zone that supports the rhythm of a room.

Placement & Lifestyle

This table adapts readily. It anchors a compact sofa arrangement, pairs well with lounge chairs, or layers in as a secondary surface beside a larger centerpiece. The palette is purposeful, with options that include Warm White with Cobra Yellow, or Mokka with Cobra Yellow, making it easy to push bright or keep it grounded. It works in contemporary spaces, but also holds its own among collected interiors where materials and shapes matter more than ornament. Use one for a clean focal point. Or flank a long sofa with two for balanced symmetry. It’s not stackable, and that’s fine—its role is to stand alone and serve.

Longevity

James is built to keep its look. Aluminum with a durable powder coat resists day-to-day wear, while the gres top maintains its character over time. The cross-braced legs support the form without drama or drift. For added protection when not in use, a dedicated cover is available. Care is straightforward: place, enjoy, wipe, repeat. The design doesn’t chase trends, so it settles in and stays relevant—just as a good coffee table should.
