Aesthetic and functional, the Disco-Volante coffee table boasts a multi-level design that separates this furniture piece from traditional coffee tables. The table features multiple pods, all different in color, height, and size. The designer has used colored translucent plastic to create colored shadows, thus radiating disco vibe.

Espresso Coffee Table by Dongjoo Jung
The Espresso table is designed conceptually and structurally to meet the needs of a coffee table. The furniture piece boasts a round wooden top inspired by the color of a coffee bean, while a thin and linear metal structure provides a firm base to the top and perfectly harmonizes structure and materiality.

Meadow Coffee Table by Eva Strukelj
