Talk about art imitating life! Designer John-Paul Melia apparently took the metaphor of looking inside one’s self way too literally which resulted in this incredulous looking coffee table. Though the award winning Pants table is supposedly an international bestseller, and comes complete with a luxury high-gloss polished lacquer finish, a choice of real wood veneers, laminate finish or even wood effects, and storage for displaying little tid-bits or even housing magazine and glossy coffee table books, we still are not very convinced we would find this one occupying the visitor’s section in a hotel lobby, office reception or even in a living room. Although I’m sure Hugh Hefner might think it a quaint find for the Playboy Mansion!
The Spinning Coffee Table is a misnomer since it’s the legs that actually spin. Designed to be fun yet functional, each leg is made of up blocks supported by a center rod. The blocks come in all sorts of colors and shapes. Make the table as high or low as you want. It’s totally eco-friendly too because it’s made of reclaimed materials like wood, plastic, and paper.
What would have been really cool is if I could play Jenga with those spindly legs.

Iris by Michaël Bihain is a coffee table that you can pile. It is made from a single sheet of steel and comes in black or white. Simply functional beauty.
