Nine to Know | Nesting Tables

We pay tribute to the versatility of nesting tables with our nine favourite examples for the living room.

The nesting table can be traced back to the 18th Century, when English cabinetmaker Thomas Sheraton designed a group of tables that packed neatly away into the size of one, to use for needlepoint and checkers. Notably, German artist Josef Albers also designed nesting tables while teaching at Bauhaus alongside fellow teacher Marcel Breuer. In this Nine to Know edit, we explore the widely appreciated nesting table’s place in the modern-day living room, through nine old favourites and contemporary classics.
