When it comes to the living room, there are a handful of decorative pieces that stand in as the defining elements: The sofa is undoubtedly one, often times doubling as the focal point of the room, while the coffee table comes in as a close second. As one tends to dictate the decorative direction of the other, when it comes to making a purchase, it's important to consider the aesthetic established, while being mindful of how the two pieces will complement one another.




The beauty of a coffee table lies within the fact that you can be bold enough to embrace a design that skews towards the more avant-garde. Regardless of its composition, and how abstract it may be, it's difficult to override its element of functionality. With this in mind, we set out to find the latest offerings on the market, which will undoubtedly impart a major dose of style to your living room.

Acrylic Purple Table, Coming Soon,$2,500
We're chalking this one up as a serious investment piece. Considering the fact that this '70s-inspired acrylic table can essentially double as either a coffee table or sculpture, it just may be reason enough to make the splurge, justifying the hefty price tag.
