Imperial Family: Side Tables as a Tribute to Japan
Imperial Family is the collection of round side tables designed by Time&Style as a homage to the Japanese imperial household, a symbol of the country's history and identity. Each table is crafted in solid oak with artisan techniques that reveal the mastery of Japanese cabinetmakers: the slender top with a raised edge echoes the shape of a lotus leaf, the turned central leg connects the top to the base with visual lightness, and the balanced proportions create harmony even in multiple compositions.
From Minimalism to Everyday Function
The tables have a minimalist design that, by cultural nature, does not mean absence, but a pursuit of detail. The circular top has a raised edge that, beyond being a crafted aesthetic detail, also serves the practical function of containing accidentally spilled liquids while defining a visual perimeter. The round base features a turned cylindrical leg that connects the two planes, distributes weight in a balanced way and creates a vertical rhythm that lightens the overall mass.
Sizes, Heights and Possible Compositions
The collection is produced in three diameters and various heights to suit multiple uses and configurations:
- Ø 45 cm × H 42 cm / H 60 cm: compact side table ideal as a lateral element next to armchairs and sofas, or as a minimal bedside table in the bedroom
- Ø 60 cm × H 36 cm / H 60 cm: intermediate size perfect as a coffee table or surface in entrance halls and corridors
- Ø 75 cm × H 42 cm: the largest table, suited as the centrepiece in a living room or as a service surface in lounges and waiting areas
Imperial Family can be used as a single element or in multiple compositions: by combining tables of different diameters and heights you create a play of overlapping volumes that adds visual depth and functionality to the space, while maintaining order and lightness.
Solid Wood Finishes: Snow White and Charcoal Grey
Imperial Family is available in two stained solid oak finishes:
- Snow white: a light, luminous tone that expands the perception of space, perfect for minimal interiors or rooms with light flooring
- Charcoal grey: a bolder finish that integrates with concrete walls, burnished metals and natural fabrics, or pairs beautifully with the Sunset armchair for aesthetic and material continuity
Each finish enhances the natural grain of the wood, allowing the texture and irregularities to show through — making every table unique. Small chromatic and fibre variations are signs of authenticity, not defects.

FAQ Imperial Family Time&Style
Practical questions on dimensions, finishes and maintenance.
What is the difference between the available heights?
The heights are designed for specific uses: H 36 cm is the classic height for central coffee tables in front of a sofa; H 42 cm is ideal as a side table next to an armchair or as a standard bedside table; H 60 cm works as a tall bedside table or service surface where you want to reach objects comfortably while standing or seated on a chair. You can combine different heights to create dynamic compositions that maintain visual order without weighing down the space.
How do you maintain solid wood over time?
Routine maintenance is simple: a soft dry or slightly damp cloth — avoid aggressive or abrasive cleaners that can alter the stained finish. Avoid leaving liquids sitting on the surface for extended periods. Over time the wood develops a natural patina that enriches the grain — this is not deterioration but the mark of a living material. Every 2–3 years you can apply a natural wax specifically formulated for stained wood to keep the surface nourished and protected.
Is the table stable with heavy objects on the top?
Yes. The solid oak central leg and round base distribute the load evenly across the entire contact surface. The single central leg design is a precise structural choice — not an aesthetic concession — and guarantees stability even with books, lamps or trays. One practical note: on very smooth floors (polished marble, honed stoneware) it is advisable to place a non-slip pad under the base to prevent accidental sliding.
