Can you imagine having this coffee table in your living room? It would instantly be the talk of any party, or even when someone stopped by for a quick visit.

Designed by Axel Yberg of Akke Functional Art, this structural modern coffee table, named the Reverse Dowry, was made as a gift for his mother-in-law. Reverse Dowry is made from oiled recycled ipe wood, stainless cable, aluminum and glass for the top. I think Akke Functional Art couldn’t be a more perfect name – because that’s exactly what it this table is – functional art!

In addition to the Reverse Dowry, Axel Yberg has recently added 13 new pieces to his website, which are even more awesome than this coffee table – if that was even possible!

Head over to his website to check them out – you won’t be disappointed!

Imagine a chair made from mother of pearl. Korean designer Samwoong Lee did, and the beautifully unique Octopus Chair is the result. Named Octopus because its shape looks different depending on your angle of sight, this chair is sure to keep you captivated.

Mother of pearl is really an interesting choice, both in that it’s an unusual choice for a chair and because of its reflective quality. Natural mother of pearl never has the same color and pattern, and its reflexivity is changed by the angle. It gives this chair a natural, yet at the same time futuristic feel doesn’t it?
