NES controller/coffee table that actually works!

Fri, 09 May 2008 21:30:57 -0500

Mother's Day is this Sunday and what I would really like is a working giant NES controller coffee table. As if a working giant NES controller isn't cool enough, the table opens up to provide ample storage for all of your stuff.

The NES coffee table was built by Kyle Downes of the "Ultra Awesome" blog.

Furniture that looks like buildings

Tue, 16 Oct 2007 21:08:47 -0500

Furniture Follies is a company that specializes in hand made furniture that not only looks like buildings, but also provides ample amounts of storage. What I like most about the furniture is the child-like presence it gives to a room.

The furniture is made by Patrick Owen who is an Englishman who is based out of Normandy.

Note Table

This Note Table by Tom Seymour is complete genius!

Made up of 5000 sheets of paper, which are bound by PVA glue, this table can be used for scribbling, protection against coffee rings or just for its novel looks.

I can already tell this is going to be a big seller for Post-It Note addicts.

The DB Fletcher Capstan Tables are very cool (and probably very expensive), but this walking table is sweet too. Now you can just push your table to where you want it.
