Flashbacks notwithstanding, this ‘Mushroom Forest’ coffee table by Thomas Wold won’t make you hallucinate. It will, however, force you to prioritize your gadget placement--should the remote be on the toadstool closest to my hand, or should that spot be reserved for a drink?
We’ve seen a number of furniture and art inspired by the Disney movie and Lewis Carroll book ‘Alice in Wonderland.’ I can’t help but imagine the Caterpillar lounging over the ‘Mushroom Forest,’ smoking his hookah contemplatively.
