This Fireplace Storage Unit designed by Davide Tonizzo draws its inspiration from the waterways and streets of Italy as part of the Midtown Collection. In an unusual combination, the furniture piece melds a storage unit with a fireplace, which is especially practical if you happen to have a small living space.
Although it might seem alarming that the design puts fire side-by-side to pieces of wood, the flame that comes from the side of the unit is only a virtual one, but it still does give off that warm and cozy look. The openness of the flame makes it possible for the table to be pushed against a wall or left as a centerpiece in a room.
