This collection of unique furniture by Benjamin Rollins Caldwell focuses on tables made of unthinkable materials.
Known for his unique furniture concepts, Caldwell has been known in the past for his 'Label Whore' table using nothing but clothing labels as the decor. This time, he selects more industrial-looking materials and shatters conventional table ideas.
One of Caldwell's most intriguing tables uses computer motherboard parts creating a technological look reminiscent of the Transformers. You almost expect this table to roll out of itself and end up standing beside you.
Another of his creations uses copper piping and glass to create a table that almost seems like it's constantly moving. Your guests will be transfixed by the labyrinth of piping in this minimalist, industrial design.
