Over at Etsy someone has decided to go boldy beyond where coffee tables have been before, and made on in the shape of the Star Trek Enterprise. The table glass dimensions are 34" x 54" x 17" tall making the entire ship a bit too small for actual interplanetary travel, but perfectly sized for caffeinated travel.

The REK coffee table is designed for tiny apartments where clutter and space is always an issue. Designed by Dutch designer Reiner de Jong the REK coffee table is very much like a dinner table with extendable leaves. You can slide one or both of the interior sections to make a long table, and the interior sections also slide out in two directions for more options when guests are over.

Here's a coffee table we never would have imagined could exist 10 years ago. The body of the table encapsulates electronics and robotics, that sculpt geometric patterns and images into a field of microscopic silicone beads beneath a glass top. The effect is mesmerizing and magical; it is truly Zen-like to watch ever-changing patterns and images appear in the sand.
Total price for a coffee table table sponsorship is at $5000, and you can get other smaller versions as well. We'll have to wait and see how well this Kickstarter project turns out before plopping down 5k.
- Constructed from organically grown FSC certified renewable bamboo, which is available in several different styles
- The glass top is extremely strong tempered glass, 5/16" thick, as is similar to the high-strength glass used in store windows
- Comes with an SD card containing programs for sculpting patterns into the sand
- A dimmer switch controls the brightness of the built-in lighting
- An optional 3G modem can be built into your table to receive new programs for sculpting via the cellphone network, along with a service plan subscription that will push new designs to the table as they are created
- Control the table from your smartphone. With the 3G modem option installed, you can download the iPhone/Android app which we are currently developing and play a compendium of classic games, or send commands via text message to your tables dedicated phone number
- Connect a USB cable to your table, if desired, to send commands directly to the table from your computer, rather than programs being automatically loaded in sequence from the SD card

There's nothing better to get the conversation started than a cup of single serve coffee, and a large crack in your coffee table. The Grand Canyon Table brings nature a little closer to the conversation, and the contemporary, sleek and very organic brings a modern look to your living room. We really love the see through glass meets wood top.

The company Crunchy Logistics has a thing for creating gianttouchscreens, and the Padzilla is their newest product, and it allows users to interact with their iPhones and iPads on a completely ridiculous scale.
You mount your iPad or iPhone inside of Padzilla, and then you can pick a 70"+ screen size with rolling display. Anything older than the iPhone 3GS isn't supported, and you can also hook up other consoles or computers to the display as well.

Need an alien in your living room? Look no further.
Over at HomeTone they have a list of 12 coffee tables that will impress. Besides the alien coffee table above, there's even a coffee table made out of paper pulp that is quite fetching. We like to think of coffee table design as the one place in the living room where you can get away with just about anything in that sweet middle place between the TV and your couch.

Okay so maybe this is more of an end table, but we still love the natural look for a potential coffee table on the side of your chair. This table is handcrafted from unique pieces of driftwood gathered from the remote shores of Java, and each table is a bit different.

We like a modern yet functional design, and this Wakiaka Unique Pagoda Coffee Table delivers on both fronts. It has a rich coffee bean color, and features a translucent design with pagoda-inspired leveled shelves. We think given the design the rug in the shot also reminds of us a zen rock garden.
