Penna Black and Gold Side Tables – Set of Two Metal Occasional Tables

Penna Black and Gold Side Tables – Set of Two

The Penna side tables are an elegant set of two metal occasional tables combining a rich black finish with refined gold detailing. Their rounded bases, circular tops and polished surfaces create a sculptural, high-end appearance designed for interiors where proportion, finish and visual impact matter.

Each table features a substantial curved base topped with a tray-style circular surface. Fine gold edging outlines the black tops, while a matching gold collar creates a sophisticated transition between the base and tabletop. The contrast between deep black and warm metallic detailing gives the set a confident yet balanced character.

The two tables differ in size and height, allowing them to be displayed together as a layered composition or positioned separately around the room. This flexibility makes Penna particularly practical within a living room, bedroom, study or carefully designed hospitality interior.

Black and gold side tables for an elegant living room

Black and gold side tables introduce depth, contrast and a sense of considered luxury to a seating area. The Penna set combines the visual strength of glossy black metal with restrained gold accents, creating furniture that feels decorative without becoming overly ornate.

Position the tables beside a sofa, armchair or chaise longue to provide a convenient surface for a drink, book, phone, candle or small vase. When placed together, they can also form a flexible alternative to a conventional coffee table within a compact seating area.

The circular tops and curved bases soften the straight lines of sofas, cabinetry and architectural features. Their sculptural silhouettes work equally well within minimal contemporary spaces and more decorative glamorous or Art Deco-inspired schemes.

Set of two sculptural metal side tables

Both Penna tables are crafted from metal, creating a cohesive and distinctly sculptural form. Their smooth rounded bases give the pieces visual substance, while the slim circular tops preserve an elegant overall profile.

The glossy black finish reflects the surrounding light and emphasises the simplicity of the form. Gold rims around the tabletops and gold-toned collars above the bases introduce a jewellery-like detail that elevates the design.

The black and gold palette works beautifully with marble, glass, dark timber, velvet and natural stone. It also coordinates well with upholstery in cream, beige, grey, olive green, navy or black.

Two round side tables in different heights

The Penna set consists of two tables with different proportions. The larger table measures 60 cm in diameter and 42 cm high, while the smaller table measures 50 cm in diameter and 47 cm high.

The varied heights allow the tables to create a layered arrangement when positioned together. They may be placed close to one another with a slight overlap or separated by a small gap to give the composition a more open appearance.

The larger, lower table is ideal for a decorative tray, coffee-table books or a low floral arrangement. The smaller, taller table works well closer to the arm of a sofa or chair, where the top remains easy to reach.

Versatile occasional tables for living room or bedroom

Penna is a versatile set suited to several areas of the home. In a living room, the tables can be arranged beside a sofa or between occasional chairs. In a bedroom, one may be used as a decorative bedside table while the second sits beside a reading chair or dressing table.

Within a home office or private study, the tables provide an elegant surface for books, documents or drinks. They can also be used in an entrance hall, boutique hotel suite, show apartment or refined reception area.

Their manageable proportions make them easy to reposition as required. They may be displayed together for everyday use and separated when additional surfaces are needed for guests.

Which interiors suit the Penna side tables?

The Penna side tables complement glamorous, Art Deco, modern classic, New York-inspired, contemporary and eclectic interiors. Their distinctive black and gold palette can either create contrast or reinforce an existing sophisticated colour scheme.

In a glamorous living room, pair them with a cream, black or deep green velvet sofa. Within an Art Deco-inspired interior, they work particularly well alongside geometric patterns, mirrored surfaces, glass and restrained brass or gold accents.

In a contemporary room, the tables can provide a dramatic contrast against pale upholstery and a neutral rug. The black finish adds visual depth, while the gold detailing introduces warmth and a refined decorative note.

How to style the Penna tables

The sculptural design of the tables means that only a small number of accessories are required. Style the larger top with a low tray, an interior-design book and a candle. The smaller table can remain almost clear or hold a drink, compact vase or decorative object.

Leave the gold rims and part of the glossy black surfaces visible. Overfilling the tabletops may conceal the details that give the set its distinctive character.

The tables look particularly effective on a pale rug, which highlights their dark silhouettes. They can also be placed on darker flooring for a more atmospheric, tonal scheme with subtle gold reflections.

How to care for metal side tables

Dust the surfaces regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For more noticeable marks, use a slightly damp, well-wrung cloth and dry the table immediately afterwards.

Do not use abrasive sponges, scouring powders, solvents or harsh detergents, as these may damage the black and gold finishes.

Use coasters beneath cups, glasses, vases and damp objects. Hot cookware or dishes should not be placed directly on the tabletops.

Lift decorative accessories rather than dragging them across the surface. This helps reduce the risk of scratching and preserves the polished appearance.
