Concept and Design

With the Ilary side tables, Jean-Marie Massaud designs three collections in one. In fact, Ilary is a system of 5 side tables of different heights, shapes and constructions. A mix of finishes and materials to create effects and combinations that are different each time, yet consistent.

Jean-Marie Massaud

Born in Toulouse in 1966, Jean-Marie Massaud graduated in 1990 from Les Ateliers, Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle, Paris. He began to work both in Asia and in France, finally opening his own office in Paris in 1994. Since than, he has dedicated himself to industrial and furniture design, building important relationships with brands such as Authentics, Baccarat and Magis. His collaboration with Marc Berthier and his work in the field of town planning led him towards design and architecture. He is concerned with design in various contexts, industrial products and furniture. His contextual approach centres on research into the essential, within which the individual remains the centre of attention. It is a work upheld by research into the senses, magic, and vital emotion which brings him to work with very different brands: Cassina, Poltrona Frau, Cappellini, Cacharel, Lancôme, Tronconi and Yamaha offshore.

His works have been awarded several prizes and many of his designs are nowadays on show in the design collections of the major museums worldwide: from Amsterdam, Chicago, London, Paris and Zurich: from the permanent collection of the Musée National d'Art Moderne de Paris to the permanent collections of the Museum für Gestaltung, Zürich, of The Chicago Athenaeum- Museum of Architecture and Design, of The Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam and of The Musée des arts Décoratifs, Paris.

The Ilary coffee table collection by Poltrona Frau, designed by Jean-Marie Massaud, is intended for those who want a furnishing accessory capable of adding depth, rhythm, and sophistication to a living space without becoming visually intrusive. Conceived as a system of tables with varying heights, shapes, and constructions, the collection is designed to create layered yet harmonious compositions. This makes Ilary particularly suitable for those seeking an elegant table that works beautifully as a standalone piece or in dialogue with other furnishings.

 

In a contemporary living room, Ilary performs equally well as a central coffee table or as a side table, depending on the selected configuration. It is the ideal solution for those looking to create a sophisticated and thoughtfully layered conversation area, where volumes feel fluid rather than rigid or repetitive. The different heights allow multiple tables to be combined, creating a more dynamic arrangement that is especially appreciated in spacious living rooms, open-plan interiors, or environments furnished with high-end pieces.

 

For those furnishing more compact spaces, Ilary offers an effective answer to the challenge of incorporating a designer table without overwhelming the room. Its rounded forms and clean lines create a sense of visual fluidity, improving circulation and softening the overall composition of the living area. In urban apartments or smaller living rooms, an Ilary table can serve as a focused yet distinctive element, bringing material richness and design quality even to limited square footage.

 

One of the collection’s most appealing characteristics is its variety of materials. The tabletops express a particularly refined tactile quality and are ideal for those seeking a coffee table with warmth, craftsmanship, and a character that feels less conventional. This attention to materiality transforms the tables into more than functional surfaces, giving them the ability to enrich the sensory experience of a space.

 

Ilary is especially effective for those who appreciate the concept of layered living—a design approach based on the thoughtful layering of materials, heights, and functions. In this context, it is perfect for creating a living room that feels richer and more lived-in while maintaining visual order. A larger, lower table can be paired with a smaller, taller one beside an armchair, generating a balanced and dynamic composition. This flexibility also makes Ilary particularly valuable in more sophisticated interior design projects.

 

In a private lounge, executive office, or luxury suite, Ilary can become a clear expression of attention to detail. It is well suited to those seeking a representative table capable of communicating quality and design culture without relying on overtly dramatic forms. For this reason, it also fits naturally into showrooms, boutique hotels, and high-end waiting areas, where creating a welcoming yet carefully curated atmosphere is essential.

 

Its formal language—essential yet never cold—makes it easy to integrate into a wide range of interior styles. Whether placed in contemporary settings, internationally inspired interiors, homes with mid-century influences, or more minimalist spaces that require a rich material accent, Ilary adapts with remarkable ease. It is an ideal choice for those seeking a sculptural yet understated table, capable of supporting everyday life while elevating the overall image of the living room.

 

The Ilary coffee table is therefore an excellent choice for those looking for more than simply a beautiful furnishing accessory. It is designed for people who value flexibility, compositional freedom, and the ability to create meaningful relationships between furnishings. It is especially suited to those who aspire to a living space that feels more sophisticated, more tactile, and more dynamic, shaped through thoughtful details and exceptional quality.
