Biblioteca Bookrack by Umbra

So clever, and definitely a piece that people will ask about…it would be interesting to see if others are inspired to find their own coffee tables and turn them into book racks.

“matt carr found inspiration when he found two vintage coffee tables. creating a bookrack for his own home, he configured them ingeniously to give these tables a new life as bookshelves. this design is now re-created with a mahogany natural top and black lacquered legs.”

Nicole Ottoman

Large ottomans for coffee tables are one of the better ideas for a living room. It’s much more comfortable to put your feet up on something soft than on wood or glass, of course, but it also softens up the whole feel of the room, eliminating those hard corners that our shins inevitably find one way or another. Large ottomans like this can also double as extra seating for large gatherings as well.

Acrylic Flower Basket

This is perhaps the coolest flower basket I’ve seen (though I admit I haven’t seen that many).

“This long, shallow, flower basket provides an uncommonly sensible way to pick, carry, and display cut flowers. Your cut stems go immediately into water, extending their life considerably. Cut stems are easy to carry, both around the garden or the flower market.”
