From the Tel Aviv-based textile duo of Tesler + Mendelovitch comes this line of tables and stools called, Diamond Woods . Sold exclusively through Talents Design Gallery , the collection has a faceted pattern made from their new flexible wood surface material. They almost appear as if they’ve been stretched out like an accordion. Aimed to be mass produced but still handmade, the tables and stools are made from a special foam to keep them lightweight and durable and then covered with various types of wood veneer.

It was absolutely love at first sight for me when I saw the beautiful Eden Coffee Table. What’s not to love about it? Low profile, full of texture and a glamorous metallic finish – I’ll take it!
The Eden is offered as a set of two center tables and in a side table as well, with many finish options also offered. The structure of it is made from mahogany and covered with polished brass, and then the top is completely engraved to resemble a tree. This modern coffee table is made by Boca do Lobo.
What do you think of this coffee table??

Vancouver-based designer Greg Papove has created a collection of furniture that was inspired by your everyday socks and the stories they have to tell. Socks + Furniture is a coffee table, floor lamp, and sofa that challenge one to take a second look at the mundane and not to overlook the simple things in life. The Five Toes Coffee Table took inspiration from toe socks and supports its tabletop with five legs, one for each of the toes. The socks act as fasteners when assembling and disassembling the table. You can even customize it by using any kind of socks you wish

Do you know the difference between a coffee table and a cocktail table? I didn’t either, don’t worry. I figured a coffee table was well, a coffee table and a cocktail table was essentially a bar table. But then I started seeing low tables in living rooms being referred to as cocktail tables and I had to do some investigation as to what the difference is between a coffee table and a cocktail table. And guess what? There’s no difference at all! They’re exactly the same thing.
I know you’re not supposed to fully trust Wikipedia, but I often do, especially when it sounds legit. Here’s what they have to say about the coffee table vs. cocktail table debate: “A coffee table, also called a cocktail table, is a style of long, low table which is designed to be placed in front of a sofa, to support beverages (hence the name), magazines, books (especially coffee table books), and other small items to be used while sitting, such as beverage coasters. ”
Makes sense, right? Both coffee and cocktails refer to beverages and depending on what time of the day you’re sitting at the sofa, it’s like that you’re sipping a coffee or a cocktail. (Or both!)
After reading Wikipedia, I headed over to Cymax and went through some of their coffee tables and cocktail tables and found the images above. As you can see, one has glasses for cocktails and another has a cup for coffee (or tea). So, the styling on these tables reiterates the fact that cocktail tables and coffee tables are essentially one in the same!
Well, after all that rambling, I’m glad I settled that! From now on, I’ll use the terms interchangeably depending on the time of day or what type of beverage I’m craving! How about you – what do you call these tables – coffee tables or cocktail tables?

Japanese designer Shinobu Koizumi has made time stand still. In theory, that is. His Moment side/coffee table is an hourglass-sand-shaped structure that’s actually made entirely of sand. Though there is no glass, the form of the sand is still kept as though it were still there. The table reinforces the idea that maybe you should stop and capture this moment of time, whether with a cup of coffee or a book
