Share |

If you want a piano in your home, but until now space was a problem the piano table by Georg Bohle solves all these problems. Created from oak wood, it is functionally designed to serve both as dining table and as an electric piano. The piano table is a dining table or work space with a built-in electric keyboard made of oak wood. The keys are hidden out of sight when the table is in use and the flap can be raised when one wants to tinkle the ivories. Music and functionality together doesn’t come cheap though—the piano table retails for $6000. – Via – Bornrich

Top 20 Unique Contemporary Coffee Tables

Share |

Tables have been used since ancient times. Various shapes and sizes of table were made and used by the early Egyptians and Chinese. The history of coffee tables dates back to the late 19th century, during the Victorian era in Britian. Before this period, coffee tables didn’t exist. Rather, tall, round tables called tea tables were used. As their name implies, they held cups of tea during tea time. As tea time became more popular, so did the production of tea tables. During the early twentieth century, coffee tables replaced tea tables. The low height of today’s coffee tables was probably influenced by floor-level Japanese tables found in tea gardens. As a result of the Industrial Revolution, wooden furniture production became widespread. Further advances in industrial technology created new design possibilities utilizing different materials to make coffee tables. Many of the contemporary designs of today’s coffee tables that use glass, chrome plating, stainless steel, formica, acrylic and aluminum have their roots in the 19th century.

How do you feel about an apartment whose furniture you can see through? We bet you didn’t really give that idea much thought before, which is why today we would like to introduce you to this original themed-furniture interiors from Irina Grawe. The designer’s portfolio features a lot of interesting arrangements, most of them having very unusual themes. We decided to show you what we think is the most practical one, even though in this case the idea is cooler than it is functional. In the pictures below you have a lot of creatively shaped elements, from chairs and tables to pendant lamps and other decorative items. The thing they have in common is a firm negation of the idea of compact. This collection could be used on its own or integrated in other interior designs. Please let us know what you think.

Cool Conference Room Table Made From LEGO Blocks

Share |

Who says conference rooms have to be serious and doll places for long business discussions?  Sure, the talk can last for hours, but how about changing the way a room of this kind feels? This is perhaps what designers over at Abgc had in mind when creating this cool conference room table for advertising agency Boys and Girls. The brief suggested that the table should be “playful, but not juvenile” and also contained a quote by Charles Mingus which states: “making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.” With this two elements at hand, Abgc came up with the LEGO boardroom table, a very creative idea that is supposed to boost creativity in the agency. It’s too bad the pieces are covered with glass, we think it would have been nice for the staff to also play with the LEGO blocks during the meeting. Would you consider this type of office furniture an incentive?- via Behance Network
