This coffee table is an intriguing study in shapes and forms, as it pairs a cone and a cylinder into one. The former—in painted, hand-polished hardboard—appears to float weightlessly on top, while the sturdy, cylindrical base comes in either stone or hardwood. The design stands out as an art piece in itself.


Razor and Brush Set by Pankhurst London
