Alias R Coffee table

Considered Contemporary Design

The Alias R coffee table from Capital takes a clear, modern line and keeps it honest. No flourish for the sake of it, just a calm, linear form that sits easily in a room. Designed by Capital Creative Lab in 2014, it reflects a quietly confident approach: a generous rectangular top, balanced proportions, and a slim structure that keeps the volume light. Nothing shouts, yet the piece instantly looks composed and intentional.

At approximately 55.1 inches wide and 27.6 inches deep, with a height of about 18.1 inches, the scale works well in front of a sofa without overwhelming the seating area. The geometry stays simple, which lets the finishes and materials do most of the talking.

Materials & Build

Alias R pairs an upper wooden top with a lower shelf in tempered extra-clear glass. The contrast is subtle but effective: wood brings warmth and substance, while the glass keeps the silhouette open and visually light. The transparency also lets the structure become part of the composition, not something to hide.

A metal frame supports both levels, giving the table a solid, dependable core. Finishes focus on metals and wood, so it stays grounded in familiar, high-quality materials rather than chasing trends. Every part of the build is about clarity and purpose, nothing unnecessary, nothing decorative for decoration’s sake.

Everyday Ease and Use

This is a coffee table made to be lived with. The wooden upper top offers a stable, forgiving surface for books, a tray, or a laptop. The tempered extra-clear glass below keeps essentials visible and within reach without crowding the main surface. And because the structure is clean and open, the area around it remains easy to move through and to clean.

Placement, Lifestyle & Longevity

Alias R fits naturally in a living room, but it also sits well in a more formal lounge or reception space. The straightforward rectangle makes placement simple, whether centered on a rug or aligned with a sectional. At roughly 21.2 cubic feet of overall volume, it feels substantial enough to anchor a seating group while still reading light.

Tempered glass, a metal structure, and a wooden top give the piece a reassuring sense of durability. It is built to handle daily use without feeling precious. Over time, the restrained design and honest materials allow this Capital table to slip easily into evolving interiors, staying relevant as the surrounding pieces change.
