Host was created by designer Matteo Ragni with the thought of what could add "cool" to a home. The final product was a contemporary Italian coffee table that would be right in style in most modern homes. Using color and form, Host combines the elements to create an architectural inspired accent through the use of planes and distortions. Where the focus is often on minimalism, here it is place on shapes, planes, and in general architecture. I like the fact that the colors can be changed on different planes on this coffee table. That helps me envision a bit more "zing" in the right decorating situation. Product site: here.
Fulu Low is a contemporary coffee table from Krios Furniture of Italy. This design was created by Riccardo Perazza. Riccardo's inspiration was a continuous line that extends and breaks up and yet never connects though it becomes so close. The end result is a unique shape with an empty space in the middle. The lines that break up create a flange which further contributes to the overall shape. The table top features a piece of glass for support and practicality for placement of items.

Pictured here is the Gingko Light coffee table from Tomita Designs. This is a custom piece of furniture made by designer Ken Tomita. Gingko features a classic combination of colors using natural wood contrasted with black. The wood coffee table is constructed of sustainable bamboo. The legs have been stained black with sumi ink. An interesting piece is the small table underneath the larger table leaves.
