Must Coffee table

Design

The Must coffee table from Capital sits in that quiet space between bold and easygoing. Its signature feature is the double top, two clean horizontal planes that give the piece a strong graphic presence without shouting for attention. The curved metal legs pull the eye downward, softening the geometry and lifting the volume visually off the floor. The overall silhouette feels contemporary, but not cold, making it work just as well with a tailored sofa as with a more relaxed, casual setting. Designed by Capital Creative Lab in 2016 for the Coffee Tables collection, it still looks very current.

Materials & Build

The structure centers on a double top offered in either a wood finish or a lacquered surface. Each option reads differently: wood brings warmth and visible grain, while lacquer gives a sleeker, more urban note. Both are paired with metal legs that underline the table’s clean, architectural lines and add welcome durability. At roughly 17.3 inches high, 35.4 inches deep, and 63 inches long, the table has a substantial presence, supported by a weight of about 139 pounds. It feels reassuringly stable, not delicate, and occupies around 28.3 cubic feet of space, which suits generous living areas and open-plan rooms.

Comfort & Everyday Use

Comfort, for a coffee table, is all about reach, height, and how it behaves in daily life. Must is set at a height that works naturally with most sofas and lounge chairs, so drinks, books, or a laptop stay within easy reach. The double top offers two distinct levels of surface, which makes it simple to keep essentials on hand while leaving room for a tray or a stack of magazines. It is the kind of layout that quickly becomes intuitive and easy to live with.

Placement & Lifestyle

This Capital piece suits larger seating areas where a single, elongated table can anchor the room. The long, low profile works well between facing sofas or in front of a generous sectional, and the open metal legs prevent it from feeling too heavy in the space. In wood, it leans warmer and more residential; in lacquer, it sits comfortably in more minimal or metropolitan interiors. Either way, it invites a clear, orderly arrangement around it.

Longevity

With its metal base and wood or lacquered top, the Must table is built for regular use, not occasional admiration. The finishes are chosen to stand up to everyday objects and casual hosting. And because the design language is straightforward—two planes, four curved legs—it stays adaptable as surrounding furniture evolves over time. Capital’s focus here is on a piece that keeps working, visually and functionally, long after its first placement in the room.
