Unusual Coffee Tables Worth Buying
We all love something unique and unusual and something that very few people actually can own. Not the usual Ikea coffee table but something a little different. Look at a few designs worth snapping up if you can find them for sale.
Most of them will now be over 10 years old, so finding one in its original condition could be a good buy for the future.
Choosing a Coffee Table For Life
A coffee table is something we use every day when watching TV with a cup of tea or coffee in hand. However, most of us normal people see a coffee table as another piece of furniture in the house.
What if you decided to spend a little more cash on your furniture and buy things worth more later?
Here we have several coffee tables to view. Some are just normal and will not increase in price, and others will be a one-off, or something worth keeping and selling as an antique later.

The Hardwood Cerne Coffee Table From Ginger & Jagger
Stunning, the Cerne coffee table from Ginger and Jagger works as a pair or as a standalone table. They design the pieces in such a way that they are also outstanding enough to be used separately.
Cerne comes from the heart of a tree, with rings showing the evolution and the passing of seasons. The Cerne coffee tables are minimalist and elegant in the pure state. They combine the elegant and playful design with the robustness of the solid hardwood which will make them fit in any home interior or public space.

The metallic lines combined with natural shapes give a light, open and uncluttered feel to any room.

The Wave Coffee Table
We have always said that a great center table can really make a living room sitting arrangement a lot more inviting, and this one will surely invoke many a conversation.
At first glance, it seems almost impossible to imagine someone taking the time to carve out the exact details of the city scene within the curl of the “Wave”.
I seem to remember a recent action-packed movie that has apparently inspired designer Stelios Mousarris who after receiving his bachelor's degree in model making ventured out on his own and created a company that bears his name.
Many of his previous works were interior design projects and some concept seating for commercial areas. It is clear that he has a unique eye for styles that offer much more than just the standard functionality.
The Wave City Coffee Table is a combination of wood and steel and some of today’s modern 3D technology that made the detailing possible. It is most creative and hard to take your eyes off of, and it looks great from every angle.
I can visualize an artist lending real color to the scene here which would really take it over the top. I wonder if you can turn it over putting the larger curling part on the floor to mix things up a little now and then. This limited edition piece is available for a modest €6500 from the Mousarris website. 100 cm x 50 cm x 45cm.
The Frog Rain Coffee Table
They inspire frog Rain by the Asian rain drums which have existed for thousands of years. Rain drums get their unique name from the lovely sound they make from raindrops. They make this table of cast aluminum and has a traditional relief pattern of a glowing sun encircled by concentric rings with geometric patterns. They embellish its top with three frogs while its sides are adorned by botanical motifs.
