Love for a design for such a specific purpose, that’s what I’ve got here. Designer Bradley L. Bowers found himself intrigued by the idea of a desk/surface as an artifact that engages and enlivens its environment. Should all desks and tables and such seek to activate the space they sit in? That’s a big question. What Bowers decided to do here is create a desk that’d alter the space it’s in: perception, interaction, and interpretation. This is a desk for writing haiku.

What a unique sort of assignment Bowers bestowed upon himself. A desk that collects elements from the room around it, integrating into the space, made specifically for writing a single type of poetry. Lovely.

Add a touch of glamour in your dining room by getting the chic and high-tech LED lighted tables by Ozzio. The Flat and e-Motion LED lit tables are part of the LED series and highlight the harmonized convergence of design and technology beautifully. At first glance, the conventional yet contemporary shape of the tables may not impress but once lit up, the table transforms into a piece of art. The diffused lighting creates an almost sublime environment and disentangles the table from the ordinary. While the Flat Table is available in glass or lamix tabletops the e-Motion on the other hand has a stunning mirrored tabletop with an electric adjustable height.

This Christmas gift your loved one a fireplace. No I am not getting delusional but actually talking about the rather unique Lava Cube of Fire Tabletop Fireplace. Redefining portable fireplaces, this is not your run of the mill fire-breathing rock and is actually made of "raw" Icelandic lava (now that us impressive). Manufactured by Secret North who hand picked the volcanic rocks after eruptions in Iceland, the fireplace includes a wooden plinth and features an eye-catching black fiber wood symbol. The portable fireplace uses non-toxic bio-gel fuel but the crackling flames are more ornamental as the fireplace is not really designed to warm your abode. You can buy it from here for USD 379.00.

Alexandra von Furstenberg may have a famous ex mother-in-law ( Diane von Furstenberg ) but that hasn't stopped the designer from really coming into her own. Famous for having a penchant for lucite and playing with the realms of fashion and design, her new Bullet Coffee Table is infused with a rare dark energy as it seems to resemble a bullet inspired coffin! But maybe its my own morbid imagination that is seeing a resemblance with a coffin since the designer is aiming for something completely different. Von Furstenberg's Bullet is constructed of 18 clear acrylic panels which are precariously joint at each of the 18 junction to give an illusion of a life size diamond. Alexandra von Furstenberg's designs are not everyone's cup of tea but there is no denying that the designer shows flashes of genius when it comes to mixing fashion, fantasy and furniture.

Who wouldn't want a coffee table that comes with various moving parts? That way you could adjust its position and its height according to your current needs, not to mention making the most of the limited space you have to deal with. Schulte Design has not one but four such modern coffee tables, the Audium, the Scala, the Oregon and the Scala Quadrat. The first three come just with movable tabletops while the last one will also let you adjust its height. The four coffee tables are very similar when it comes to the general design idea. They all sit on a single leg, which allows the tabletop to move sideways according to your needs. That hard part now is choosing one of the four models available from Schulte Design to be your next coffee table. Via Schulte Design

The Petalas Coffee Table is a Brazilian design inspired by flowers. The table is made by the Etel company and uses eight different wood panels to create each petal. The wood is shaped and bent in such a way so each of the eight legs of the table is actually part of its corresponding petal. The Petalas Coffee Table measures 55 x 55 x 12 inches, and I'm sure you'll find an appropriate use for it as soon as you have purchased yours. Now only if there was a way to make these Petalas actually blossom each day and engulf the living room with their perfume... Via Etel

The Wave collection by Vidame Creation is an off the wall (pardon the pun) take on wall organizers. The collection features a plethora of shelving units however, the low table, the bookshelf and the bedside shelving system are its highlight. The bends in the wall-mount units are no coincidence and contribute both to the aesthetical and functional value. Available in four metallic shades of powder-coated aluminum , the Wave Collection is not only practical but also stylish.
