Furniture Trends 2016: Are Kidney Tables Making a Comeback?
The furniture style icons of the 50s and 60s are back. Looking at the new collections, they reveal an exciting combination of new design and classic retro influences. “Urban Retro” is the trend of the moment and doesn't stop at the kidney tables where our parents and grandparents once sat.
A living room without a kidney table? Unthinkable in the early Federal Republic. The kidney table was style-defining from the 1950s to the 1970s. It had a conical shape resembling a kidney, with no corners or edges. An asymmetrical table, therefore, that had lost all symmetry and order. It usually found its place in front of the sofa set.

For some years now, old furniture classics in Germany have been experiencing a second spring. Armchairs, tables, sofas and the like are, of course, adapted to modern needs – without losing their unique charm. Emphasis is placed on furniture that has a story to tell – and so the return to good old or proven items is only logical. The living room kidney table is available from various manufacturers in modified forms on the market. The tables with their coloured lacquered surfaces, rounded corners and angled legs show that good design is timeless and still knows how to captivate people even in the 21st century.

A table is not just a table, but also a piece of furniture that conveys a sense of life and emotions. The Novamobili Coffee Table Up also exudes the charm of grandmother's interior style, providing not only modern retro flair in your own home but also serving as a practical surface for magazines, snacks and much more. However, kidney tables are also ideal for placing attractive decorative elements on, such as a flower vase.
As the proud owner of a kidney table, you possess an exclusive unique piece that makes your home furnishings unique and distinctive. Old kidney tables are cult objects and priceless. Fortunately, today no one has to do without such a kidney table in the living room, as some manufacturers have focused on a new edition of this furniture.
