It seems everyone has a side hustle these days, and the furniture world is no different. In fact, this side hustle has been going on as long as there have been chairs and a need for a place to set a cocktail! We thought it only appropriate to celebrate this often unsung hero of the living room by featuring a few of our favorites. Working on large scale projects, it’s important to be able to find beautiful pieces at any price point. Here you will find a mix of high and low to meet any budget demand. Whether they provide a strong end to end-table strategy or bring your martini game to a new level, these functional and fashionable little tables deserve a hand.
Stop, Drop… and Fall in Love!
Finding a unique shape for your classic martini table is not easy. Enter the Drop Series by Skram. We fell in love with this beautiful tear-drop shaped table with sturdy yet light and airy iron legs the minute we laid eyes upon it.

London Calling
One of the most important features of any useful table is it’s size (and of course, proximity) . These one-of-a-kind, perfectly scaled martini tables are based on the W1 region of London. Decidedly modern shapes and rich finishes make it easy to swap out wherever you need a little extra helping hand.

The Girl from Ipanema
Mixed materials are front and center in the latest collection from Roche Bobois. Organic and textured, yet soft and a bit sexy! We love the leather topped tray for added warmth and richness, and the sculptural base looks like it was carved right out of the rainforest.

A Woven Wonder
One of the hottest trends in furniture this year is tipping it’s hat to the not-so-distant past. Natural fiber furniture, from cane backed chairs to intricately woven wicker and rattan, are bringing back the 80’s with a “totally” fresh twist. Holly Hunt just released the new Sonoran Drinks Table with an open weave Inspired by the topography of the Arizona Desert. Outdoors or in, it’s the perfect compliment to any seating plan.
