Union Jack Aurora Cube Coffee Table

Posted on | Leave a comment

FBJ4955_M1

The Union Jack Aurora Cube Coffee Table manages to use the flag motif in way that isn’t tacky like many products using the design.

The table is handmade from black glass, with circles cut away in the sides to give it a retro look. The table top is decorated with a Union Jack, but rather than in the usual bright red and blue, it is in muted shades of grey, which give it a touch more class.

The table costs £280 plus delivery which starts at £38 as it obviously can’t just be put in the post. Buy it online from Graham and Green.

eBay watch: 1960s Merrow Associates-style rosewood coffee table

Posted on | 1 Comment

Rosewood

The seller claims it 'may be an early piece by Merrow Associates'. We don't think it is, but this rosewood coffee table is certainly a good buy.

Dating back to the 1960s, it has that wonderful rosewood frame, supporting a smoked glass top. There is also storage either side of a central stabliser, along with recessed castors.

The seller claims that there's a tiny scratch along the bottom edge, while tow of the glass pads need replacing. Minor things in other words. Which makes the £49.99 price tag a real bargain.

Spoon coffee table at Made.com

Spoon_coffee_table_main

Here's an interesting new product from an interesting new company. This Spoon coffee table comes from the range of Made.com. Made is a new website, set up with the aim of 'revolutionising the furniture retail market'. How they propose to do this is by cutting out the middleman: once you order your table, you have to wait for it to be manufactured and shipped, hopefully resulting in a cheaper price. 

Of course we wouldn't be including this table on this site if it wasn't for its retro looks and indeed this coffee table (along with the rest of the 'Spoon' range) has that with its curvy lines and interesting geometric table top. The design comes courtesy of Sean Dix, one of six designers producing work for the site. 

Is the price enough to convince you that this is indeed the way to revolutionise the furniture market? It's £137.

Mimosa coffee table from Umbra

Mimosa-coffee-table

The Mimosa table from Umbra is everything you want in a coffee table: good looking and practical. The unusual geometric shape combined with the dark wood colouring (created through an acacia veneer) gives the table a retro feel. The practical bit also comes courtesy of its shape which allows the space underneath the table to be used to store and display magazines.  

Designed by Matt Carr for Umbra, the table costs £230 from Design55
