The design of the COS Coffee Table is reminiscent of the classic snap clip hair accessories. In this case, however, the snap clip would be double-ended. Sleek and sophisticated rather than retro and feminine, the modern piece of furniture was actually inspired by the sheet of bent metal is was fashion out of.
Created by Katarzyna Knebel, a designer based in Wroclaw, Poland, the COS Coffee Table appears to have been strategically laser-cut to allow the legs bend downwards to provide a stylish support base. Visually striking, the COS Coffee Table is all about rounded edges. That is due in large part to the overall oval shape it takes on. It is perfect for contemporary homes.
