AuraFurn builds its whole page around tempered glass, in shapes that break from the usual rectangle: a triangle on a solid wood base, and three round tables with differently finished edges. No solid wood top here, no industrial metal either: the brand banks on the transparency and light a glass top lets through, at the cost of a little more upkeep than a matt top. For brands that favour solid materials over glass instead, see our full list of makers.
Table basse triangulaire en verre moderne avec base triangulaire en bo
82*57*35cm · Transparent
The only triangular table on the page, 82 x 57 x 35 cm, clear tempered glass on a solid wood triangular base — AuraFurn claims a distinctive triangular design, a compact structure, and a top resistant to scratches and heat. The shape is a real change from the rest of the brand's round line-up. A triangle takes up less floor space than a round table of the same length, but leaves less room for setting several items side by side.
AuraFurn's large round table with pleated edges, in white, presented by the manufacturer as the stable mushroom-shaped version of its drum range with a pleated structure on the sides, with roomy storage space under the wide top. This pleated structure gives a softer look than the clear glass of the triangular model seen earlier on this page. This lower storage isn't closed off: it stays visible from the sofa, not hidden behind a door.
A round table in black tempered glass from AuraFurn, an elegant cross-shaped base and a curved frame with a sealing plate, in Black. The brand describes a stable, secure build where the tempered glass stays elegant and durable, with smooth edges. Black hides fingermarks better than clear glass such as the triangular one, a real plus for upkeep. The cross-shaped base, however, offers no storage, unlike the two pleated-edge tables on this page.
The small version of AuraFurn's pleated-edge round table, presented by the manufacturer as the small format in the same drum range with a pleated structure, in White as well. More compact than its larger sibling, it suits a smaller living room or a complement to a bigger table. The storage under the top is still there but logically offers less depth than the large format.
AuraFurn's tempered glass, the range's common thread
Three of the four tables on this page rely on a tempered glass top from AuraFurn, only the triangular one with its solid wood base breaks from that. Glass isn't the cheapest material to work with, so browsing the low-cost section can surface sturdier alternatives. Glass lets the eye travel through a small living room, where a solid top visually cuts the space. Glass is not the only way to keep a small room visually open, as the Huhote coffee table range shows with very slim frames. Should a solid top suit you better after all, the IBF coffee table range gives the wooden counterpart to this glass line-up. Another way to keep the eye travelling is a raised open frame, which the KIMENICH coffee table page puts front and centre.
In return, a transparent top shows every fingermark and every speck of dust; the black version with the cross-shaped base hides that flaw best day to day, thanks to its sealing plate and curved frame.

Mushroom shape and pleated structure: storage makes the difference
Both pleated-edge tables in AuraFurn's drum range offer storage space under the top, given their stable mushroom shape, while the triangular and the black glass round table with the cross-shaped base stay bare, with nothing to hide magazines or a remote. Storage under the top is easier to find than you might think, and the Hzuaneri coffee table page collects several models built that way. For drawers rather than an open space beneath the top, the IDIMEX coffee table page is by far the better hunting ground. Hiding magazines matters more to some rooms than shape ever will, and the KOMHTOM coffee table range is built around exactly that need.
If storage matters to you, the two white formats in the drum range win clearly; if the lightest look on the floor matters more, the black version with the cross-shaped base stays the most discreet.

Worth knowing
Frequently asked questions
Does the tempered glass on these tables scratch easily?
Less than ordinary glass, but it stays sensitive to small objects dragged across it rather than lifted; a coaster limits micro-scratches.
Is the triangular table stable despite its shape?
Its wide solid wood base makes up for the top's unusual shape and gives it good stability, comparable to a classic round model.
What's the difference between the two pleated-edge tables?
Only the size: the large one measures several centimetres more in diameter than the small one, otherwise the structure and storage are identical.
Does the black glass top need special care?
A dry microfibre cloth is enough for fingermarks; soapy water once a week removes fine dust build-up.
Do these tables suit a living room with young children?
Tempered glass withstands a dropped plate, but stays more fragile than a solid wood top against a toy thrown with force.
