Take this table by Angelo Cappellini, its large dimensions make it ideal for covering a large surface area. The square shape and size makes it perfect for bringing a large room together, making it much more inviting.

The glass surface allows the table to accomplish the task of bringing the room together without closing it up too much. The glass distracts us from the table’s size by making the floor visible. This element is also beneficial if the table is placed on a rug that you want to display. Overall, this table adds warmth to the room while also leaving enough open space.
