Inherently functional and as charmingly decorative as a series of Russian dolls, nesting tables — as in, clustered coffee tables that comprise multiple surface shapes and heights — are offering an easy way to give your living room some added dimension. And while the type is certainly not new to the interior scene, a far sleeker, more contemporary take on the style has brought about a spectacular resurgence.

Instead of snuggly slotting right underneath one another, the new breed of nesting tables is designed to showcase a subtle overlap, where the outstretched, sculptural bases at varying heights can truly be displayed. Able to be made to suit any space, these tables will offer a unique point of difference in your home. As such, we’ve outlined three of our current favourites.
