“Strong enough to hold up barn roofs in their former life, these reclaimed antique beam side tables from Vermont artisans are hand-hewn. Each piece is crafted from “found” American lumber up to 200 years old. Imperfections, such as warps, cracks, nail holes, and worm holes have been left untouched intentionally, to capture the charm, warmth, and patina of the antique wood. Our two sizes partnered here form smooth, tiered table tops for bedside or chair-side use. Made in the USA.”

I’m sure this might inspire some DIYers, but for those of you that care to own a Harry Allen piece (or add to your collection), this table is perfect and completely functional. The black one (not pictured) is really something.
“The Branch Table brings an element of Harry Allen’s Reality product line, the casting of real life objects, into the world of furniture. The pedestal of this table is an actual casting of a Dogwood branch. The wooden base is crafted from solid Ash wood. The result is a piece with both form and material derived from the natural world. The Branch Table is available in three pedestal colors of white, red and black. All have a glass top.”

“The Blu Dot Sprout table comes in 4 sizes and three statement making colors. The forked stainless steel “roots” will settle in perfectly with your existing décor.”

Why are big chunks of wood so appealing? I love the integrated black legs on this particular bench- they seem to frame the grain nicely and give an elegant yet natural appearance.
“Not every table has four legs. Aesthetically smart, this simple and
minimal design enables for its various applications throughout the home
or work environment. Cleanly constructed of a solid piece of Cherry,
its geometric and graceful design accentuates the natural beauty of the
grains and knots of the pine. The handsome wood top of the piece allows
for use as a reversible table or bench. Fusing sophistication with
functionality, the African wenge wood legs provide an exceptionally
strong support and stability. This item is made to order with a lead
time of 6-8 weeks.”
Cherry OR Butternut and African wenge wood.

This is a great design at a relatively low price.
Update: There’s a similar (if not the same) table available in the wenge listed for $299.00 here. (thanks Chin!)

My new friend Adam alerted me that the fine folks over at Hecker Design are now taking pre-orders for their one less desk which will ship in March.
The idea behind One Less Desk is that CRT’s are being traded up for flat screen monitors and one can now survive with much less desk surface area than before.
What about all your paperwork, you ask? I’ve been following the 37 Signals’ David Heinemeier’s suggestion to scan all my papers and bills to PDF and then shred them–that way I’ve got everything I could possibly need at my fingertips even if I’m at home, the office or out of town.

I like the geometry of this console- more of an interesting object to put a vase or rest your keys on than a storage piece, but it has character.

Inspired by a bridge that spans England’s M5 motorway, Frank’s table is elegant and strong, and unlike most bridges, easy to manufacture and construct. Made from just three sections, the table top and two plug-in leg units assemble in mere seconds.

Thick glass with silk-screened color give these tables a polished sheen that’s bound to take any room up a notch or two.
“Niels Bendtsen’s Pool Table Collection (2004) is a juxtaposition of undisturbed flat water (like a table) and man-made squares and rectangles (like a pool)… Pool’s tempered glass top and sides are permanently fused at mitered corners using a UV gluing process that offers rigid strength and a clean connection…A variety of sizes offer several nesting possibilities, easily arranged to fit individual needs.”

A few of these would look great grouped together to function as a coffee table- or you could do just one beside a sofa or bed- the visual effect of all those rings would certainly create some interest and detailing to an otherwise ordinary room.
“Over 1000 iron rings are handwelded together to sculpt an artistic bubble from thin air. Light, yes, but not lightweight; holds up to 16 lbs, no problem. Raw antique finish leaves weld marks exposed.”
