Wooden Coffee Tables

Nature has been known to inspire art and design work; from using natural materials, to drawing inspiration from the shapes and designs produced by it. These coffee tables use wood in its natural form, for not just aesthetic purposes, but also environmental.
This table, designed and created by Israeli designer Yoav Avinoam, uses a mixture of resin and sawdust taken from a variety of woods. The recycling of sawdust makes this table eco-friendly as it does not require fresh pices of wood in order to create it. The table won DesignBoom's Intelligent Hand competition, due to its 'excellence in craftmanship'.
This 'Cilindro coffee table' by Rotsen Furniture may not be everybody's cup of tea, but the minimalist table is made from reclaimed cinnamon wood, making it suitable for those wishing to do their part in preserving the environment. Similarly, the table below, also by Rotsen Furniture, is both a simple and eco-friendly design, that is created using wood from fallen trees.
