This modern fireplace and coffee table by Sara Armento of deZign Studio goes by the name of Gor, and serves as a place there you can warm up as well as stash your belongings.
The hybrid coffee table and fireplace stands on five spindly legs that are reminiscent of twigs that might be used to build a fire. In contrast to this, the surface of the table and the hearth is a chunky white slab that looks quite heavy in comparison, topped with a small panel for the heat and fire to escape. The unique fireplace is powered by a clean-burning bioethanol fuel, making it a double duty furniture piece that's perfectly at home indoors.
