Coffee table OLMO black and natural reclaimed elm 165 cm IXIA

The Coffee table OLMO black and natural reclaimed elm 165 cm IXIA instantly gives structure to a living room. Its long, low rectangle finds its place in front of a large sofa or corner couch, where it naturally becomes the shared surface for everyday life. The natural-toned reclaimed elm top, paired with a matching lower shelf, rests on a black frame positioned at each end, so the centre remains visually light and open. Books, trays, candles and remote controls all find a clear spot between the generous upper top and the open plank shelf beneath. In a living area that mixes relaxation and entertaining, this coffee table acts as a visual axis, guiding the eye along its length while keeping the space fluid. Around it, armchairs and poufs can be added over time without romping on its calm, linear presence that anchors the whole seating arrangement.

Distinctive, elongated design

The OLMO coffee table stands out through its very elongated rectangular form, which instantly stretches the perspective of the room. The upper top in reclaimed elm displays an expressive grain, with natural variations that give rhythm to the surface without overwhelming it. Just below, an open lower plank shelf mirrors the same wood tone, providing structure and a second storage plane. Both tops are framed at the ends by a straight black structure that reads like two graphic portals, underlining the length while keeping the volume airy. Because the supports are concentrated at the extremities, the central section remains visually free, accentuating the impression of a floating wooden plane. The contrast between the warm natural wood and the black frame gives the table a contemporary character that also works in more eclectic interiors, where it can dialogue with existing pieces.

Why choose this OLMO coffee table

• Long format makes it easy to serve several seating positions at once, ideal for corner sofas and generous three-seater couches.
• Double top layout offers a practical everyday surface and a lower level for storing books, baskets or decorative boxes out of sight.
• Reclaimed elm in a natural tone brings visible grain and warmth, contrasted by the sleek black frame at the ends of the table.
• Open central underside keeps the piece visually light, helping small or narrow living rooms feel less crowded and more breathable.
• Simple, linear geometry works as a calm base for changing arrangements of trays, art books, candles, or characterful statement objects.

Where to place the OLMO coffee table

At 165 cm long, the OLMO coffee table is particularly suited to large seating compositions. In front of a straight sofa, keep enough clearance for comfortable circulation, then centre the table so each seat can reach it easily. For an L-shaped or corner sofa, align the length with the longest side and let the table slightly overlap the return to tie the two parts together. In open-plan spaces, use this elongated piece as a visual boundary between the lounge area and a dining or workspace zone. A rectangular rug slightly wider than the table will anchor the layout and highlight its long lines. If you are comparing options, browsing other designs in the coffee table collection can help you picture scale and proportion. Near a window, place it parallel to the light source so the elm grain catches and reflects daylight softly.

Ensuring long-term decorative harmony

To keep the OLMO coffee table visually coherent over time, build your decor around its two main cues: natural reclaimed elm and the black end frame. Choose shelving, side tables or picture frames in similar wood tones rather than identical finishes, so the ensemble feels related but not rigidly matched. For seating, solid-colour upholstery in stone, sand, charcoal or olive allows the table’s grain and contrast to stay legible. Echo the black frame in slim lamp stands, metal-framed mirrors or chair legs, repeating the detail subtly in different heights. This way, you can later change cushions, throws or wall art freely while the structural elements maintain a consistent language. When rearranging the room, the OLMO table can either remain the longitudinal anchor in front of the sofa or rotate ninety degrees to redefine circulation, without losing its ability to connect surrounding pieces.
