Sometimes a piece of furniture can be plain and simple but if it has even the smallest detail that catches your eye then it becomes interesting. It’s the case of this unusual coffee table. It was designed by Chris Duffy and is called the “Woodsman Axe Coffee table”. The table is part of a large collection created by several London designers and that includes pieces that are each based on a Brothers Grimm tale.

This is a piece called the Lucite Trunk. It’s a table with a design inspired by a vintage trunk. It’s made entirely out of glass and it features polished chrome handles and accents. It’s a fully transparent piece that would add character to the living room without making it seem full or smaller.

Coffee Table Aquarium.

Here’s another interesting design: a coffee table combined with an aquarium. It’s a piece made of acrylic and beveled glass. The base is an actual aquarium that measures 24 x 24 x 15-1/2 H. It has a square and transparent glass top that allows you to admire the ever-changing aquatic environment from all angles. It’s a very interesting and eye-catching piece but I’m not sure the fish love it as much as we do.Available for 1000$.

Nintendo Controller Coffee Table.

And since we were discussing interactive coffee tables earlier, here’s another interesting one. It’s a Nintendo NES controller coffee table made from maple, mahogany and walnut. The most interesting part about it is that it’s actually functional and it can be used as a controller to play games. It features a retractable cord and a removable glass top. The table measures 42″ length x 18.25″ width x 18″ height.Available for 3,700$.

Foosball Coffee Table.

Milk crate table

This is the Pinnacle Foosball Coffee-Table. It’s a coffee table but it’s also a foosball table, yet another interactive piece that would make a great conversation subject. The table’s elegant frame allows you to include in mostly any décor. It’s the perfect classical table but with a kick.Available for 360$.

Pallet Coffee Table.

Milk crate table

All these interactive coffee table designs are great but a table doesn’t need to be that complex to be eye-catching or interesting. For example, this one is very simple but it’s also very intriguing. It’s a coffee table built from a repurposed wooden pallet. It was painted green and this gives a very nice touch.

Milk Crate Table.

Milk crate table

The last design we’ve selected is quite similar to the pallet coffee table. It’s also a coffee table made from repurposed items. This time we’re talking about empty wooden crates. They were stained and nailed together to create a coffee table. The result is an eye-catching and functional piece with lots of built-in storage space.
