Dylan Gold’s Corner Coffee table is really cool. So cool, I would pay the $1900 for it (if I had that kind of money to spend on a coffee table). But, you can buy Dylan Gold’s Corner Coffee table here.

“Imaginary” is a table that refers to the mathematical term of  “imaginary number.”

What is an imaginary number? according to Wik,

“An imaginary number, in mathematics, is a number in the form bi where b is a real number and i is the square root of minus one, known as the imaginary unit. Imaginary numbers and real numbers may be combined as complex numbers in the form a + bi where a and b are called the “real part” and the “imaginary part” of a + bi. Imaginary numbers can therefore be thought of as complex numbers where the real part is zero. The square of an imaginary number is a negative real number.”

I am not sure how comfortable it is but, if it looks this good, does it matter? Designed by Lucas Saule.

BTW there is also a matching chair.

Designed by Italian Lodovico Bernardi.

We’re not sure what’s going on over at Urban, but they have stepped it up a bit. The catalogs are tasty and the products are surprising. I know the urban uk carries some high(er) end designs and it now looks like the U.S. site has some nice things as well. For example, this Acacia Wood Twist Stool.

“Hand-carved and completely eco-friendly is this Twist Stool, made from the thick branches of the quick-growing Acacia tree in Thailand – where each branch is cut and carved to order (allowing the tree to continue growing). ”

If this table had been made from two actual ram’s heads instead of brass and glass, it would have been on another level.
