Side table JUPITER glass and gold-toned steel KARE Design

The Side table JUPITER glass and gold-toned steel KARE Design introduces a striking graphic accent to a living room or reading corner. Placed next to a sofa armrest, it combines a deep black round glass top with a cylindrical gold-toned metal base shaped like an open cage of rings. The staggered vertical and horizontal bars form concentric circles that remain visible through the dark glass, turning the table into a sculptural centerpiece rather than a simple support. Perfect for holding a table lamp, a small stack of books or a decorative vase, it adds a touch of glam without visually closing the space. Its airy structure lets light pass through, which is especially valuable in compact interiors. Whether you use it between two armchairs or as a stylish accent beside a chaise longue, this side table effortlessly anchors the seating area with a refined, contemporary presence.

Striking geometry and refined finishes

The JUPITER side table immediately stands out thanks to the interplay between its circular shapes and rich finishes. The top is a perfectly round disk of black glass, smooth and glossy, which reflects silhouettes and ambient light like a calm surface of water. Beneath, the cylindrical base is made of gold-toned steel shaped into a cage of horizontal rings intersected by vertical bars. These staggered lines create overlapping halos when seen through the glass, giving the impression of stacked bracelets or an architectural lantern. The proportions feel carefully studied: the diameter offers generous space for a lamp, drink and book, while the height keeps everything comfortably within reach when seated. The gold tone has warm brass nuances that contrast beautifully with the dark top, bringing both depth and brightness to contemporary, classic or eclectic interiors without appearing heavy.

Why this table deserves a place at home

• The black glass top and gold-toned ring base create a strong focal point, ideal for energising a neutral or minimalist seating area.
• Its open cylindrical cage structure keeps the volume visually light, preserving a sense of spaciousness in smaller living rooms or studios.
• The tempered glass surface provides a smooth, even area that elegantly showcases lamps, vases, candles or carefully selected coffee-table books.
• The sculptural silhouette works almost like a small art piece, adding interest even when the table carries only a few everyday essentials.
• Balanced dimensions allow flexible placement as an end table, between armchairs or beside a lounge chair for drinks and reading.

Where the JUPITER table really shines

The JUPITER side table is particularly effective beside a sofa, where its 55 cm height aligns comfortably with most armrests, making it easy to reach a drink or switch on a lamp. Slide it slightly forward of the seat edge so the circular top remains accessible yet doesn’t obstruct circulation. Between two lounge chairs it becomes a shared stage for a statement vase or a carafe and glasses. In a bedroom, it transforms into an eye-catching bedside table, especially paired with a sleek reading lamp. You can also use it near a window as a perch for a plant with trailing foliage, letting the leaves cascade over the black glass.

Ensuring long-term visual harmony

To integrate the JUPITER side table into a lasting decorative scheme, build on its two key elements: deep black glass and warm gold-toned steel. Echo the dark surface with a few accents like picture frames, a floor lamp base or patterned cushions carrying touches of black. Balance the metallic glow by introducing materials with softer textures—bouclé, velvet, natural linen—in shades of cream, sand or warm grey. Wood finishes such as walnut or mid-tone oak harmonise particularly well with the brass-like base, giving the ensemble a cosy yet polished character. Over time, you can shift accessories on the tabletop to adapt your style: sleek candles for a minimal look, coloured glass vases for a bolder direction. Because the design is airy and circular, it will continue to link surrounding pieces visually, even if you later rearrange the seating or add new textiles and artwork.
