Knife and fork coffee table.

I came across this coffee a while back and again today. It was pretty hot idea back in 2007. Sadly I can't access the Objection design site as its down but it well worth doing a google search for more info on them and maybe you will find more info than I could.

Normally I blog about comporary and modern furniture you can get your hands on but this is one of those posts that I hope will get the old creative juice following.

I love the simple idea. I'm sure health and safety my have a few problem with it and I'd sugest keeping the kids away from it or design a similar idea with a clear glass or pastic covering/case.

The Blox Coffee table from Cassina

Simple sleek lines. This cassina coffee is a complete design classic.

Designed in 2002 by Jehs & Laub for cassina the blox coffee table is free standing and is ment as an adition to the blox sofa which i'm sure I'll blog about soon enough.

In my opinion this table could go with so many item by cassina and many other brands.. I think it could work well with the Auckland chair and footrest by cassina.

Slim line Coffee table from Dedon

Garden furniture with Style!

The pictured Slim line coffee table doesn't do it justice. The weaved fiber is made up of different sections which sadly don't come out in the picture.

The entire dedon Slim line range is full of the special weave and with so many copies of the shape the weave is what make this a top end designer iconic item that will last.
