I was browsing some of my favorite blogs today, when the work of Troy Backhouse caught my attention. Seemingly gothic and modern in style simultaneously, I decided to take a closer look.

The first table pictured here is called the Eterna II and gets its stunning detail through hand carving.  Its top is made from laser-cut steel. Unlike most tables its top is not flat, forcing you to think about the placement of the objects you place on it. The second is titled Eterna Primavera, and also features the same uneven top. This table’s legs are surprisingly inspired by popular tattoo motifs.  See more from Troy Backhouse here.

Ivory or Black Faux Leather Modern Convertible Sofa Bed

This isn’t new, but I recently came upon it for the first time and felt it was something worth sharing.  Called the Paper Table, this table is actually made of recycled paper and features an oil finish.

This table is the work of Matt Gagnon, a graduate of the architecture school at Cornell University who now has his own studio in Brooklyn. Gagnon experiments with proportional relationships and the interaction between people and the space that surrounds them. He likes to push the limits of each medium, which in this case results in quite a stunning table. I wouldn’t have thought paper, especially recycled paper, could be pushed that far. I guess that’s why Gagnon is the artist and not me! See more of his work here.
