You Will Filipp Over This Coffee Table!

Filipp Walnut Coffee Table

I like modern furniture with a clean design where there are no wasted lines, just pure form, That is why I love the Filipp Coffee Table designed by Red Living. But this hip and cool low coffee isn’t just form, there is a huge amount of function packed into its pleasing contemporary design as well.

If you are anything like me, your coffee table is rarely used for coffee, my family does homework, plays board games, eats food and occasionally even rests their feet on our coffee table. It is the first place I look when I am trying to find the remote control and is a great place to spread out the Sunday paper. But this versatile piece of furniture inevitable becomes something of a dumping ground for books, toys, magazines and everything else a family accumulates in the average day of living in the living room.

That is where the function of the Filipp Coffee Table really shines because hidden away in the table’s sides are two concealed drawers that are just perfect for tucking away all that clutter to maintain a clean and linear look to your coffee table. It is perfect for those times your Mother-in-Law drops by unexpectedly or when you have a sudden unannounced guest arrive.

Filipp Coffee Table Open

The sturdily built, easy-glide drawers are wide enough to hide a full board game plus books, magazines, newspapers and the remote control as well. When closed, the drawers fit flush into the table to keep up that sleek and clean contemporary style. And what a cool style it is, with a recessed base, low profile and beautiful walnut veneer finish, this hip modern coffee table would be outstanding without that extra little trick up it’s sleeve.

The Filipp Coffee Table by Red Living is made with economical MDF with a very handsome walnut veneer. It is also available in a clean, minimalist white but I prefer the look of the natural walnut myself. It is available from Fashion For Home for a very reasonable $599.00.

Table Will Self-Destruct

The Table That Limits Its Own Production Run! This cool modern table is part contemporary furniture piece, part artistic statement on mass production and handmade craftsmanship. The concept is pretty simple, the table is produced as a grid of concrete squares set together into a matrix. When the first table was made, a single square was removed from the tables matrix. Each subsequent table has the same square plus one additional square in the grid removed. The farther you get into the production run, the more squares are removed from the grid.

The Clever Sebastopol Table from Coalesse

The Sebastopol Tables are a highly adaptable and versatile contemporary table collection that was designed by Emilia Borgthorsdottir for Coalesse.  They are difficult to classify as a coffee table, side table, end table or occasional table because they can easily be configured into any or all of these. Born in Iceland and studying design at the Art Institute of California, Borgthorsdottir  has a passion for designing objects that are ergonomic and beautiful and this awesome modern table collection is both. The Sebastopol Tables actually have a clever geometric design that fits together in a number

Curve Table by Craig Siebeneck

The Curve Table is an elegantly simple yet beautiful modern side table created by Craig Siebeneck for Alec-Reid Design. This custom made modern side table has a chunky, laminated wood top that cleverly attaches to the organically curved walnut base by two metal rods that make it look like it is almost floating a few inches in front of it. The hand-carved wood base is made from beautifully grained walnut stained in a dark finish making it the perfect accent to the lighter wedge shaped wood top. I love the combination of metal and hand carved
