Two weeks in a row – coffee tables. I’m going to need a lot of living rooms for all these. Kick back and put your feet up on this pyramid coffee table:
I got the idea for this table while playing with my daughter a few weeks ago. She has a large toy in the shape of a box. As she was pulling herself up on it, I was amazed at how stable it was. I thought it would need to have a wider base to keep from tipping over – like a pyramid. BAM – the first inklings for this table were struck.
If I were fully flushing out this design, I would still play with both the height of the center and how big that area is. I’ve already lowered the height once in sketching this, but it still doesn’t feel perfect. The one feature I really like about the table is the footrest dowels on each side. How many times has a mother yelled “Get your feet off the table!”? This table actually invites kicking your feet up.
