Antique collectors, may we have your attention please? We just came across this bit of news which might just add some excitement to your lives that forever wait for some gorgeous piece to add to your collection. Hyde Park Antiques in New York is selling a pair of exquisite Regency rosewood and Parcel Gilt game tables. And when we say ‘exquisite’ we totally mean ‘exquisite’!

Each of these tables have a rectangular top that has been lined with leather to make for a real classy gaming surface. We are quite taken up by the boldly craved acanthus edges that yell royal luxury in your face, and tell you very frankly, no one seems to mind it.

Would you love cars so much that you want everything around you looking like Corvette cars? We have heard of furniture styled after soccer, automobiles, and sometimes fashioned out of airplane parts too. But CarCrazyDesks decided to bring in some out of the box workstations that would add zing to your otherwise boring looking workspace.

It has a BBQ Vette C5 barbeque grill too, besides a liquor cabinet that is refrigerated, liquor bar and a billiards table to help pep up your party scene at the office.

The superbly designed C5 Corvette Desk has the showstopper feel, for its bells and whistles, work lights, tail light lens of superior quality, handmade billet aluminium engraved knobs and high grade wood design that is custom made with your choice of wood. The glass which can be etched with your company logo is a signature ownership piece.

All the same, the pricing goes hand in glove with the quality too. You need to shell out not less than $ 1,400 to start with, for a steel frame design. The refrigerated liquor cabinet you can take home for $ 2,100. The desk will cost you $ 1,900. So go satiate the car lover in you.

And we never knew there was a faint possibility to make pool even more addictive than it actualy is! Enter Obscura and its wonderful knack  of adding a lot of chutzpah to whatever little project it plans to take up. This time around it is the CueLight that has caught everyone’s fancy. This innovative pool table makes use of sensors and motion detectors along with an overhead projector. The latter creates images as you go about leaping on the table.

This system works well because the balls can now be tracked and tailed with fire illusions. In fact, the pool table can also create ripples when the balls strike the side rails. All this comes for a price, and might we add a big one too. $80,000 is what the system costs while the pool table comes for nothing less than $125,000. So we are thinking whether the system will work on the old pool table lying in your attic?

Sometimes we feel very hungry while we are at work but it’s always not convenient to go to the office pantry and nibble on some food. This is even worse in the case of a sedentary job where one literally plunks himself/herself hours together without eating anything. Emili Manrique designs a table, which is used both as work and dinner table.

The flat surface almost a square shape table has different tiny sections to place a laptop, pen stand, notebooks, files, etc and, on the other side it has an eating space as well. So, you can work and eat on the same table simultaneously. The idea is not bad but it’s not professional to eat at the office work desk. It’s work and not food that should be given the highest priority while in office.
