Well, hopefully you know that usually you get what you pay for when it comes to furniture. With that said, this decent (looking) desk and bookcase cost under $150 each, and when you’re on a tight budget, that’s music to the ears.

This reclaimed teak top and simple black iron base make for an excellent overall impression (too bad the price is more towards the 4 grand mark than what most of us would consider affordable).

Stucture and design are one with the Strut. A proud stance for any gathering. Choose ivory or robin’s egg blue for a subtle impact, or dark olive or watermelon for more punch power. Powder-coated steel frame with a durable polyurethane finish over MDF for the top.

I saw this while we were at
ICFF a couple of weeks ago, and while it was (and is) spectacular, I had no idea it was coated with natural silver, which makes it extremely unattainable to the average consumer. I really do think it’s amazing, but, come on, if you’re spending that kind of money on a coffee table you might need to visit some third world countries to get some perspective.

“Superficial or authentic? This striking piece puts equal emphasis on surface and substance. Using a proprietary process, a massive block of wood is coated with a brilliant layer of natural silver, and a bloom of tarnish around the knots and cracks, resulting in a piece whose stunning surface does nothing to hide the individuality and character of the wood beneath.”

Seasoned Douglas Fir coated with natural silver

“Clean geometry in weather-resistant metal with powder-coated finish. A mod spin on square with tabletop skewed slightly off center. For outdoor use. Simple assembly.”

Perhaps this console could inspire some DIYers?

This rather clever bedside table is wall mounted so it’ll take up less room. This would also be perfect for the entryway or for a central phone/gadget resting place.

Made in Sweden.

Material: white Plexi.
Height 380, depth 250, width 330 mm.

At first glance, the top of this table looks to be steel, but instead it’s made from a nice dark gray oak veneer. Also, I like the legs jut out ever so slightly, and how the corners are rounded instead of squared off in sharp angles; both lend a little more personality than it would have had otherwise.

“The contemporary look of the Angelini coffee table infuses a cool and edgy ambiance in any modern setting. This stylish table is made with a brushed stainless steel frame, and a dark gray oak veneer.”

Dimensions: 42.1 x 14”

Very similar to the Reclaimed Wood Coffee Table and the Railroad Tie Dining Table, this bookshelf and console have spare iron frames that show off the aged wood to its best advantage.

Driscoll Bookshelves:
“Airy, open, and equally suited to penthouse and farmhouse alike, our Driscoll bookshelf is amply scaled for vases, dishware and art books (and the art, too). Refinished railroad-tie shelves have smooth surfaces and rough, raw edges that bring warm rusticity to the modern blackened steel frames. Hand-waxed finish; oiled and waxed iron frame. Assembly required. Additional shipping, $150.”

60″L x 15″D x 72″H.

Driscoll Console:
“Airy, open, perfectly proportioned for living room display, dining-room dishware, entryway style. The frame is dipped in oil, torched, then hand waxed. Assembly required. Additional shipping, $75.”

This generously sized coffee table is available in several different options.

Holy, when I had posted the

The legs on this table look identical to the Multi Table I posted a while ago, but this picture (or maybe the high gloss top) puts it into perspective. Plus, there’s the option of ‘Golden Trestles’ (which, if you say aloud, sounds like some type of candybar or fantasy land).

“Dine or work in style, times infinity with our Tropics Table. An easy, modern solution that’s ultimately versatile, allowing you to customize any dining nook, work area or home office over and over. Sleek and rectangular, the Tropics Table comes in 3 options.”

I’m enjoying the New Antiques collection by Marcel Wanders. This chair in particular strikes my fancy. It’s a Klismos style chair (an ancient Greek form) merged with the turned wood technique, where wood is thrown on the lathe for the “knobby” appearance.

“A stunning takeoff on period furniture, the new antique wood-turned chairs and tables are available in matte black or white lacquer. the chair seats are upholstered with polyurethane foam and covered with a choice of smooth G908 or stamped leather of the same color choice as the frame. the seat is also available made of woven polyester belts with the cappellini logo.”

This is actually pretty pricy considering where it comes from, but it’s a pretty great piece. I think it’d be perfect as a little bedside table.
