Trendir describes the Tavomatico Tire Table as being "body shop chic," and it certainly is. This unusual coffee table comprises a chunky automotive tire as the heart of the piece, sandwiched between a pair of round plexiglass panes that form the base and the surface on top.
The focal point of the furnishing is the massive treaded core, and this can be featured in its basic black for a bare industrial look, or painted in a variety of colors and patterns. Every item is finished in an invisible coating that increases its durability in the domestic environment, that smooths out its textures and that eliminates any rubbery smell.
The underside of the Tavomatico Tire Table has four little wheels so that the movable can be rolled around, and the gap beneath the transparent tabletop can serve to store blankets and other items.
