Cuban Coffee Table Returns: A Limited Edition Australian Mid-Century Design by TH Brown

|Toni Briggs-Brown
“Cuban Coffee Table by TH Brown in solid timber, Australian mid-century design”

In the mid-1960s, as Australian homes opened into lighter, more relaxed spaces, one piece captured the shift.

The Cuban Coffee Table.

Designed by Peter Brown and originally produced by TH Brown, it marked a confident move away from heavy, overbuilt furniture. Sculptural. Balanced. Architectural.

As TH Brown approaches 115 years of Australian design and manufacturing, this is the piece we have chosen to bring forward again.

Some designs carry more than form.
They carry history.

Under the direction of Re-Founder Toni Briggs Brown, the Cuban Coffee Table returns in a strictly limited-edition release.

When this production run is complete, it will not go back into production in 2026.


Why the Cuban

“Sculpted timber leg detail of Cuban Coffee Table by TH Brown”

Milestones invite reflection.

Since 1911, TH Brown has shaped how Australians live with furniture. Across generations, our pieces have moved through homes, conversations, celebrations and quiet everyday moments.

To mark 115 years, we selected a design that speaks clearly to who we are.

Integrity of form.
Mastery of timber.
Enduring proportion.

The Cuban Coffee Table is not inspired by mid-century design.
It is authentic Australian mid-century modern design.

Its elongated D-end top introduces softness.
Its sculpted solid timber legs and curved stretcher demonstrate technical precision.
Its presence is confident yet restrained.

It remains one of the most recognisable pieces from our archive.

Designed for Contemporary Living

While created in the 1960s, the Cuban Coffee Table feels entirely relevant in today’s interiors.

In heritage homes, it adds architectural clarity.
In minimalist apartments, it introduces warmth and curve.
In layered, design-led spaces, it becomes part of the rhythm of the room.

Furniture holds more than objects.

It holds books. Glasses. Conversations 🙂
It sits quietly at the centre of everyday life.

For 115 years, TH Brown pieces have done exactly that.
