Minimalism done right isn’t simple, it’s intentional. West Elm’s Hendrix Drink Table nails this brief with its sleek, linear form. There are no ornate details, no visual noise. Just a metal slab that plays with light. Its chrome finish reflects everything around it, allowing the table to disappear or dazzle, depending on your space. It’s the kind of piece that doesn’t shout luxury but reflects it, quietly.
Pair it with a Vodka Martini — classic, clear and impossible to overlook.
Some tables hold your drink, others hold histories. The Arka Accent Table by Sage Living is firmly in the latter camp, with its cane-imprinted, cast-glass body acting as a subtle tribute to Indian craftsmanship. A brass band wraps around the cylindrical shape, cinching it medially and posing as armour. Its rich amber tones seem to glow from within, creating the illusion of a sun. No wonder it calls to mind Karna, son of the Sun God Surya.
A Long Island Iced Tea feels right at home here
Arzaani Atelier Prive’s Hamza 02 isn’t just a cocktail table — it’s a multifunctional talisman. With a jet black marble top inlaid using the intricate pietra dura techniques, it’s a striking display of Indian craftsmanship. At its centre sits a bold Hamsa hand, etched like a protective spell against bad vibes (or bad hangovers). Resting on a sleek silver metal base, the table’s unique shape makes it feel sculptural yet ready to move with you, regardless of the space.
Its companion? A Black Margarita. Dark, salty and edgy enough
Elegance takes tangible form in Nama Home’s Tap Drink Table. Like a splash frozen in time, this table pours grace and captures motion in brass and clear acrylic. The delicate silhouette is anchored by a grounded, circular base that reflects light like the surface of still water. It’s the kind of piece that catches the afternoon light just right, refracting reflections and drawing the eye without asking for attention.
Top it with a Tom Collins and the whole scene fizzes with quiet sophistication
The Leh Side Table by VIYA is more sculpture than object. It is a piece that feels chiseled rather than constructed, almost as if a raw block of Earth were chipped away at until this form prevailed. Crafted from cast brass and inlaid with semi-precious stones, its subtractive form carries the power of calculated imperfection — an art that takes more mastery than flawlessness ever could. Drawing from the vast palette of Indian landscapes this table screams collector and holds its own as functional art.
A Kraken Martinez only adds to the mystique — complex and full of hidden personality
Want space for more than just your drink? The Catamaran Table 1 by Studio Aurawala has you covered. Inspired by a catamaran, its twin hull-like forms feature rough edges and textured surfaces that feel as though they’ve weathered wind and water. The contrast between gleaming and oxidised brass speaks to the many dichotomies at play — classic yet bold, warm yet contemporary. Designed with function in mind, its generous surface leaves room for not only a cocktail but books, candles and collected artefacts.
A Spiced Old Fashioned is the kind of drink that feels carved, not mixed — just like the table it sits on
Like a pair of sculptural, mismatched earrings, the Pair of Serti Sur Vide Martini Tables from Invisible Collection are less furniture and more fine jewelry for your space. Venetian cast-glass tops, shaped like floating, pear-cut solitaires, rest delicately on their bases that are finished in a refined shade of gold. The palette is striking: emerald green, warm gold and crystalline glass come together in a composition that feels precious. The gold acts like a setting, encasing each gem-like form with a touch of vintage craftsmanship.
A Matcha Whiskey Highball is its ideal companion: emerald, sparkling and dressed up to the nines
Named after the Hindi word for stem, the Tana Side Table from DeMuro Das brings organic elegance to any space it is placed in. Its slender, hand-crafted metal support rises from a bronze base like a plant pushing through soil. The circular top, like a medallion, is constructed from semi-precious stones and offers a textured contrast: silky-smooth with subtle cracks that add depth and character. With its ivory tones and bronze details, it feels both sophisticated and a little wild — less a table and more a study in surface.
Silky. Ivory. Spirited. A White Lady carries the same understated edge as this cocktail table.
Portside Cafe’s Colaba Bar Table is an ode to the city of Mumbai after dark. Its circular top gleams in gold, etched with delicate lines that trace the roads leading to Colaba’s iconic bars. Below, the deep black body is adorned with gold leaf–like accents, as if the city’s lights have scattered themselves across its surface: a shimmer of windows, headlights and late-night shenanigans. There’s a Klimt-like richness to the palette fostered by gold in varying opacities, applied with an essence of nostalgia.
Clad in sparkles, it is daring enough to keep the night going, just like an Irish Gold Rush!
