I usually try not to post Ikea products because it’s definitely the cliche “cheap modern” design option, but I really do think this is a great table for the price. I would use it as a large desk.

‘Wow’ was the first word that came to mind upon first viewing of this table. It’s got so much style you won’t know what to do with it…it’s also eco-friendly, which means you won’t feel guilty about the price tag.

“Constructed of eco-friendly bamboo ply, the Slim Slant coffee table is part of the forward-thinking furniture line offered by Rhubarb Decor. It boasts useful spaces for books to lean naturally which reduces fatigue on their spines.”

18″ d x 60″ w x 16″ h

For those of you with low armed sofas, this Lite Service Table is a great solution for an unobtrusive flat surface where a table will not work.

Measurements are H 11.75″ W 11.75″ D 18″, so to be safe, measure before you buy.

What a perfect little TV stand. It’s very unassuming and has exactly what you need for a tiny media center. Room for one cable box, one Tivo and a TV. Or perhaps a TV and your old school Nintendo? Your Atari?

This is pretty amazing.

“Archipi is a sculptural presence in high-gloss lacquered wood.

Originally based on a request from a customer, the challenge was to create a table without any visible joint, complete in high-gloss. The resulting piece is a product of a several week process, equally at home as a coffee table or in the garage next to your ferrari.”

So, all this week you’ll be seeing bits and pieces of things we saw at the ICFF that we thought were worth mentioning, and I think it fitting that this table is among the first of the posts. I do believe it might be my favorite thing, or at least among the top five. Small plastic inserts drop into the table to form little landscapes that are interchangable. Plants are shown, but think of all the other possibilities…

(note: each piece is custom made)

This is quite a different take on an otherwise usual problem of storage.

“Kant is a desk that will help you keep your desk tidy. It’s got a folded back section which provides a place for books, files and many other items that usually clutter your desk. Made of either white or black laminated birch plywood.”

If you’re wanting to add some Gehry pieces into your home, this little block table is a relatively affordable way to do it.

“Absolutely a perfect accent piece and a great way to incorporate a piece of Frank Gehry’s work in virtually any interior. This block cube made out of cardboard will add texture and “edginess” to any space. New from Vitra, this piece is available in all natural or with your choice of one side in the new trim colors of white, orange, or green.”

I think I like this table. It’s a good price and kind of fun (and who am I kidding, it’s acrylic).

“This simple acrylic table resembles a transparent tablecloth. Light, visually stimulating, and an incredible value! Perfect as an occasional table or several clustered to create a coffee table in front of a sofa.”

This is a really good price for a well constructed glass-top desk.

For outdoors or in, this bench and stool are something to consider. The prices aren’t so bad, and the style fits into the modern/minimal look quite easily…you could also use them as a coffee/side table if you wanted to…
