Mix and Match Table

For something so important, your coffee table goes through a heck of a lot of abuse. Look at yours now. Magazines from six months ago are left forgotten under bills and junk mail. Assorted coins have become permanently glued to its surface because they’ve been resting on the sugary leftovers of soda can rims for so long. Lonely DVDs sit apart from their parent cases. To put it frankly, it’s a mess. You’d benefit from the Mix and Match Table by Brazilian design company Nodesign, an ingenious work of craftsmanship that promises to adapt to the demands you unintentionally put onto this living room centerpiece. It comprises nine wooden panels that can be moved around like an old childhood slide puzzle game minus the image, and some of the panels are specifically designed to function as a CD holder or fruit bowl. Another one comes in a form of a lidded box to hold all the tchotkies "” like old casino chips, you know "” threatening to wreak havoc on order. When you do finally get rid of all the extra junk on your table, flip all the panels over for a smooth, flat surface. Perfect, at least until the mail comes again.
