We like anything LED, and now we can finally own the coolest LED thing on the planet - a custom designed LED coffee table. You can switch out any graphic and choose whatever you want on the top. LED lighting is also customizable using interchangeable filters. You need to pay a hefty price for such coolness: £2000.00 (or £2500.00 for custom image) and get it from SUCK UK.
STAINLESS STEEL AND TOUGHENED GLASS
Independently controlled illuminating table top and down light.
Built in power connection.
Select your own colours with interchangeable filters or choose graphics for the table top (union Jack or whatever you want!).
This isn't your father's coffee table. The Nobo has an electric radiator system that gives a feel of an indoor campfire made with ice and fire over a coffee table. The heater includes "Pits" that emits heat to make the room warm and is controlled by an iPod-shaped touch wheel and features a built-in projector that creates an environment by illuminating the glass log with flickering flames that are video projected. At $2800 the Nobo isn't cheap, but considering the elegance your living room may achieve with it, you can certainly go for it if you've got the cash.

Moon Coffee Table Book - A Giant Leap for Your Wallet
This reissue of a Norman Mailer tome, Moonfire (the Apollo book to rival all other Apollo books), comes in an aluminum case, sports a quartet Apollo11 lunar lander legs, and has a rumpled up its front cover to resemble the moon's surface. And what else could make it even more amazing? How about a specially-designed Marc Newson case containing an actual lunar rock.
The real price to all of this lunar madness? How about $90,500. There's a cheaper version for $1,500 that just doesn't impress as it's really just mostly well - the book. Only 1969 copies available - so order now! :-)
Finally a coffee table with a built-in foosball game. Made from solid poplar, the table stands 20" high, allowing you to sit comfortably or kneel while grasping your team's three hand-carved, solid wood control rod handles. The playing field uses offset light and dark hardwood veneers, decorated with the details of a soccer pitch--center circle and spot, half-way line, and penalty spot. A tempered glass top keeps the ball in-play, and of course can support your coffee and magazines while not playing a game. Both ends of the table have solid wood scorekeeping beads and a stainless steel ball return. The legs have built-in levelers to keep the playing field even.
Here's a coffee table you're going to want to use on the first floor, and in a place with some pretty hardy floor joists. The Cement Coffee Table from CB2 is made from an agregate of marble, granite, stone and natural fibers. The table is also handmade, and made in a eco-friendly shop that uses less fossil fuels to produce it's products.
Coffee Table with Fire Pit Makes One Hot Coffee Table
The Groundfloor is a coffee table with a built-in fire pit. We're featured a fire pit coffee table before, but we love the split colored design of this table more. We're not sure if you want to use this inside or if you want to use this on your outside covered patio, but whatever you decide this is one hot coffee table.
In his Dallas-based Weld House Joel Hester is scrounging the scrap yards of Texas and turning grizzled steel into coffeee tables. We really like them, and have to say the connection to Cars in the above picture seems likely. The cost is going to be in the $800+ range for a coffee table, and the creator Joel Hester has an entire gallery over at Flickr. His web site also lists other furniture made out of cars including armoires, beds, and larger tables.
Contemporary Arcade Coffee Tables - Play with Coffee
The surface tension arcade table is designed to discreetly bring the finest contemporary personal entertainment to the heart of your living space. Available in three sophisticated finishes, these arcade game tables cleverly conceal a the controls and PC hidden within the coffee table. You can even purchase one without the PC and use your own. Video game meets coffee in Nirvana.
This DIY project is made of LED lights, and features a spectrum of colors to drink your coffee to. The table even features rotating through a dizzying amount of colors. Full instructions can be found at Unplugged so you can build your own.
Peekaboo Clear Coffee Table - Invisible Coffee Drinking Fun
Playing peekaboo can be more interesting when adding hot coffee, and an acrylic clear coffee table. This transparent surface floats in the room without taking up permanent visual residency - think invisible coffee table. Thick half-inch molded acrylic is molded to coffee table perfection, but be careful - acrylic scratches so make sure and clean with mild soap and water, and then use a dry soft cloth for finishing.
Microsoft Surface - Single Serve Coffee Table Computing
Microsoft launched the Microsoft Surface just about 2 years ago, but we recently found out these coffee tables of the future are now available. That's right - you can now order via the Microsoft Surface web site a coffee table that we can only imagine costs more than your current one. Not sure how spill proof these coffee tables are, but if we ever get one we think we might put our coffee on the end table instead.
Portability in coffee tables has not existed until now - we give you the Case Folding Coffee Table. The table folds itself into a case when not in use and is made of easy open/close birch wood pieces each spring loaded with locking hinges. It can take loads of up to 100 lbs, and is handmade in California. A big thanks to Beth for sending this in.
We often want our coffee table to do just about everything food related because we eat, drink, and sometimes sleep near it. The Unified Dining Table designed by Min Hoo Park features a tray with built-in plates, cups, a vase, and a candelabra so you can have a little dinner, then put your coffee on the flat coffee table top by flipping over the dining area.
We love the clean lines of this timeless coffee table. The Drop Coffee Table features a crystal clear glass top, with a hanging frosted glass shelf underneath. The tapered legs help to give you more space, and we really like the slender steel rods that hold the shelf in place.
