The design brand Discommon releases its latest project entitled the 'Automotive Icons Table' collection. It pushes the ideology of the classic idea of coffee tables with its unique incorporation of iconic supercar designs into the tables themselves. With the unique blend of two very different territories, it challenges more traditional versions of the furniture pieces.
The car silhouette surface is achieved through CNC processes from a block of aluminum to reveal an automotive shape crop up from the 'liquid-like' metal table surface. Some of the car models that are incorporated into the Automotive Icons Tables are the Ford GT and the Ferrari F40. The foundation of the table is held up by a sleek leg design, and the bottom of the table's surface has a textured detail and durable structure.
