Let yourself be enchanted by the absolute lightness and timeless minimalism of this side table named “Moulin”, designed by the brilliant French designer Pierre Paulin. Composed of a circular safety glass top suspended on an elegant central chromed steel base, this iconic 1970s piece brings a touch of transparency and Space Age sophistication to your interior.

Visual Impact: Transparency and the Luster of Chrome

Pierre Paulin always sought to refine lines to retain only the essential.

The Illusion of Lightness: Thanks to its large transparent glass top, this table seems to float in space. It does not obscure the surrounding decor, which beautifully highlights graphic rugs (such as the retro orange and brown model under the table) or polished concrete floors.

The Minimalist Tulip Base: The top is solidly anchored on a central cylindrical chromed steel axis, which flares into a flat and stable circular base. This mirrored finish captures reflections from the room for a decidedly chic look.

A Unique Through-Finish: The signature detail lies in the steel base head that elegantly passes through the center of the glass, flush with the surface of the top like a polished metal button.

Features

An Unmissable Signature: Pierre Paulin is one of the most famous French designers in the world (known notably for furnishing the Élysée under Pompidou and Mitterrand). His pieces maintain an excellent rating in the design market.

Ideal "End Table" Format: Compact and functional, it fits everywhere: as an entrance console, an occasional coffee table next to an armchair, or a high-end bedside table.

Excellent Value for Money: For an authentic Paulin piece combining glass and chrome, it's a very attractive introductory price for collectors and vintage decor enthusiasts.

💡 Gallery Owner's Style Tip

"This side table by Pierre Paulin is a chameleon of decor. Pairing it with a rug with 70s "Pop" or "Space Age" accents creates an immediate contrast between the rigor of the glass and the warmth of the textile. For an ultra-contemporary look, pair it with a black leather armchair or a textured ceramic lamp placed right next to it."
