Forget about all of those expensive hand-carved, marble top coffee tables that are being sold at an overpriced figure at showrooms across the country, only to have a 80% discount slapped on it a month after you saved up a whole year for that coffee table. Here is something from Sean Regan and Aubrey Cohen, where it took a total of 6 months to carve it out. Touted to be extremely sturdy, it is a throwback to the Star Trek Enterprise tables that was previously done.

The top and bottom half which sandwich the glass have been bolted together, so that even if you accidentally bumped it while walking, it will still remain sure. The front comes with 3 points of support contact with the glass as well, so you can more or less say that it is well protected with enough “deflector shields” for real life bumps. Just how much does it cost? It is supposedly $14 an hour, which equals to roughly $60,500 – which is plain nuts, but considering how it is lovingly hand-crafted and pays a close resemblance to the actual X-Wing, who knows, someone might be crazy enough to stump up that kind of money.

Here it is steampunk/fantasy enthusiasts. A mechanical dragon of your very own, who will burden his back with whatever you see fit to put on it. Now you can drink coffee on the back of this beast and feel like a steampunk dragon hunter.

Looking for that elusive coffee table to complete the ‘look’ of your home can be quite a challenge, especially when your sense of taste in design is far more refined than the rest of the world. For those of you who found the Disney/Pixar movie Up to be a tear jerker, here is something that might just roll back the years and let you remember how your emotions were evoked back then – with the UP Coffee Table, of course.

They say that a picture speaks a thousand words, so we will just let the image above do the talking. For folks who prefer more words to describe just how the UP Coffee Table came about and what it is all about, then do read on after the jump.

First of all, the UP Coffee Table does look as though it is the latest Duffy London coffee table, although it will come supported by what looks like a cluster of helium balloons – but these balloons are not real in any sense of the word, of course, as they have to be hard enough materially in order to support the weight of the table itself, not to mention the other items that you are going to place on the table itself.

The UP Coffee Table boasts of a particularly interesting design concept, where it is more or less guaranteed to be a conversation starter, and will also be able to impart a very unique character and look to your living room. This is truly a one of a kind table that will play with and grabs the attention of whoever waltzes into the room, especially for first timers who lay their eyes on it. Specially designed to be a very breezy trompe l’oeil, the UP Coffee Table offers the illusion of it being supported by golden helium balloons, and you might just catch yourself blinking twice, wondering whether you really saw the table float off the ground – even if it were to be for a microsecond.

As for the asking price, well, it generally moves in the direction of the table’s namesake, which would be north in the region of $3,800.
