This Richard Young Merrow Associates Coffee Table brings a calm and balanced feel to a room. It was designed in the UK during the late 1960s or early 1970s.
Even today, it still feels modern. Because of this, it fits easily into both vintage and contemporary spaces.
The table combines rosewood, chrome, and glass. The lower tier uses rich rosewood, which adds warmth and depth. In contrast, the top tier uses clear glass, which keeps the look light.
At the same time, the chrome frame adds structure and shine. Together, these materials create a strong and simple design.
This Richard Young Merrow Associates Coffee Table offers two levels of use. You can place everyday items on the top glass surface.
Meanwhile, the lower rosewood shelf provides extra storage. For example, you can keep books, magazines, or objects neatly arranged.
We have restored the table so it presents well today. The rosewood shows a rich grain, and the chrome remains bright.
As a result, the table is in lovely condition. It shows light signs of age, which add character without affecting use.
Merrow Associates produced furniture in small batches. Because of this, pieces like this are not common.
The Richard Young Merrow Associates Coffee Table reflects a high-end approach to design. It was originally sold through premium stores such as Harrods and Heal’s.
This table works well in a living room or seating area. It offers both function and style without feeling heavy.
If you want a piece that feels considered and well made, this is a strong choice.
Richard Young was a British designer trained at the Royal College of Art. He also worked with G Plan and studied under Danish designer Ole Wanscher. In the 1960s, he co-founded Merrow Associates with engineers Percy Wyett and Peter Weeks. Together, they created furniture that combined Scandinavian ideas with industrial materials.
