For the Amish Originals Furniture Co. eNews:
It may have started with the light bulb. The idea of an active, comfortable living space developed during the 20th century as modes of travel, a steady increase in leisure time, and modern conveniences evolved.
In American living rooms, the new concept of a shortened table always sitting in close proximity to sofas and chairs, along with small tables to support accessible lighting, seemed to coincide with prohibition, as more and more folks gathered at home to entertain. Tables once displayed along the perimeters of a room for special occasions, moved closer and closer to the action.
Ultimately, staid settees, calling cards, and afternoon tea service gave way to comfortable seating, conversation, and coffee mugs. Today, occasional tables are an essential layer in household living spaces. Coffee tables, especially, have become a hub for activities ranging from play to meals to work, including, of course, a place to take a beat and put your feet up for a while.
From rustic to traditional, Amish Originals Furniture Co.’s hardwood, Amish-crafted occasional tables provide stylish space with surfaces and features designed for this modern life.
