Elia Nightstand & Power Dock

We’re always looking for creative ideas that help to reduce clutter.

The Elia Nightstand & Power Dock does just that. It features three drawers and is made from American hardwoods and encased in a black walnut veneer with a natural and dark two-tone finish. But what makes it interesting is the integrated power dock inside the top drawer, allowing you to charge all of your gadgets while keeping them protected and out of sight.

There’s even a velvet lined tray to ensure nothing gets scratched, and a cable management system so that everything remains organized.

Whiskey Barrel Coffee Table

Looking to add to the man cave? How about a coffee table?

The Whiskey Barrel Coffee Table is made using an aged-oak Whiskey barrel that once had a home in a Tennessee distillery. Now it’s a furniture piece that makes for a perfect conversation starter. A pine tabletop is placed on top of the barrel, and the base is hand-stained for “rustic charm.”

Lifting the tabletop reveals a hidden storage area where you can keep blankets, magazines, and of course, booze.

Tired of the same ol’ same ol’ with furniture? When it comes to coffee tables, we’ve already covered a few unique ideas, including the Offside Football Coffee Table, the Woodsman Axe Coffee Table and the Remembrence Coffee Table. Now there’s the Aquarium Coffee Table to add to the list.

This glass-topped coffee table has acrylic sides for a clear view of your little fishies, and the heavy-duty black acrylic base features lights that illuminate the blue glass gravel that will no doubt impress your guests.

A2 Angle Shelf

If you assemble a shelf and it’s even slightly crooked, your wife gives you hell and makes you do it again, right? Well now you’ve got some justification for your up-until-now feeble “it’s supposed to look like that” defense.The A2 Angle Shelf is, indeed, supposed to be crooked. And rather than looking like a poor handyman’s mistake, it actually looks stylish. Six feet wide and made of sturdy white MDF, the Angle has 18 cubbies and nary a right angle in sight.

Probably not the best place to display your collection of signed game balls, but a visually interesting alternative for anything more gravity-resistant.

Aviator Lounge Chair

What do you get when a designer (with three decades of experience) puts over 3,000 hours into a piece of furniture? One helluva good chair.

Each handcrafted chair brings together a blend of wood, aluminum, steel and polymeric fabric suspension components. Straight from David Catta’s (the designer) mouth:

“With the Aviator series, I aspire to create an industrial sculpture evocative of early aviation that is functional, yet engages the viewer to embark on a journey – a journey to explore it’s seductive curvilinear shape, the handcrafted technical details that become visible through a slow walk-around, and the inner workings and subtleties that are revealed through the semi-transparent suspension fabric.”

A limited edition of 5 chairs will be released.

Loaded Objects

Tired of your Martha Stewart inspired living room? Spice it up a bit with a few Ak-47 and 9mm lamp shades. Okay, so they’re not real guns, but these ceramic sculptures, as the creator puts it, are “visually seductive and thought provoking.”

Each fixture is molded from clay and then fired twice. They come with a shade, cord and plug so you’ll be all ready to go once your work of art arrives.

Go ahead and grab yourself a few loaded objects, but for those of you who are married, have fun trying to convince your wife that these belong anywhere other than your man room.

Woodsman Axe Coffee Table

Finally, a coffee table Ron Swanson can be proud of – the Woodsman Axe Coffee Table. The table was built by two London designers and is part of a collection based on fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm – this one obviously from “Little Red Riding Hood”.

The table portion comes in either a Walnut veneer or light Oak veneer from Stewardship Council managed forests and other controlled sources, and the axe handles are made of hickory.

Measuring 40cm high, 75cm wide and 125cm deep, the Woodsman Axe Coffee Table will look right at home under your mounted moose head and on top of a bearskin rug from a bear you killed with your own two hands, you manly man, you.

Lagoon Daybed | By Solpuri

If hanging loungers and portable hammocks aren’t your thing, the Lagoon Daybed may be of interest.

Place this luxury lounge on your patio and soak up the sun in style. There’s room for two, and there’s an attached control that will allow you to rotate the bed in different directions. There’s also a removable shade for those times when you want some fresh air without the sunburn.

But perhaps the best time to show off the daybed is at night. The base is translucent and comes equipped with LED lighting, letting off a relaxing glow that is sure to impress your guests, and your date.

Remembrence Coffee Table | By Mitch Steinmetz

What if instead of placing a photo album on your coffee table for guest to peruse, your coffee table could actually be the photo album? Intrigued? Read on.

A student from Northern Michigan University’s School of Art and Design seemingly had the same questions and came up with the perfect solution. He created and designed a usable coffee table that looks convincingly like a super-sized leather bound photo album.

The designer, Mitch Steinmetz, explains that “Instead of acting as a liaison between the user and their entertainment, Rememberance becomes the source of entertainment.” The table features flippable pages that can actually store photos, as well as a handy storage compartment hidden within. Here’s hoping that this concept will quickly become a reality.
