Here is something odd for the people looking for unique pieces for their home. Although the Shark Table would be perfect for the people exposed to the deep blue sea or have not seen an actual shark up close, this table is the closest and safest one you can get into.

The Shark Coffee Table is not as ferocious and scary as the usual sharks of the sea though. Rather, the Shark Coffee table is another artsy rendition that offers other ways of coming up with coffee tables over the dull and ordinary ones.

While the picture above shows it ideal in blue, you can actually have the Shark Coffee Table personalized in the color of your choice. The coffee table is available for a steep $3,600 over at Etsy.

When it comes to LEGO inspired furniture,we are complete  fanboys and girls. So imagine our excitement when we came across the “Legnoquadro” designed by Hangar Design Group for company Horm. The table may  look like  it has been made from LEGO Blocks for adults, but there is more to the design. Following  a philosophy of dematerialization, the table mimics the design of a  wooden puzzle and according to the designer is an “excavated core, a rhythmic cube built with same-sized, square-based pieces that differ in height.”

Take a gander at Kaspar Hammacher’s first piece for his furnishing series with the Stein No. 1 coffee tables. The piece offers sound organic qualities to which artificially manufactured items would perhaps have a hard time duplicating.

The table has been sawed and sanded from a segment of an oak tree’s trunk to produce a sumptuous sculptural stone-like creation that still celebrates its winsome woodgrain texture. It is dubbed as the “the anchor for balance and tranquility in the life of its owner, as if it would still rest on the riverbank with water slowly forming its signature”.

From the looks of it, the coffee table would be a great addition outdoors although from the make, it seems like a cool addition to your living room.

Adam Court offers an unusual piece of furnishing for you with his Mercury Coffee Tables. The tables offer a different type of an appeal, artsy work that seems to portray that of subtly disturbed water on top. However, the table does have an actual smooth surface paired with intriguing and scattered light surface reflections that should make it an ideal centerpiece in any room.

The fluid indentations were made possible by Court through the manufacture of mirror polished stainless steel. The consequent rippled silver surface of the Mercury Coffee Table looks much like genuine liquid. The table should be a great piece for people who love odd stuff, not to mention something that will brighten their living space in a snap.

It is capped by a clear glass top to make sure that you see what is going on under it while sipping your coffee. The Kanagawa Kinetic Coffee Table was designed by William “Alex” Mecker.
