Resembling a miniature flying saucer (for a particularly fashionable extra terrestrial) the YOUMOU Coffee table by Karre Design is a chic new creation by the Istanbul-based company. The bulk of the table is composed of clear glass, and the see-through element makes it an easily adaptable piece for the majority of interior decor compositions.
The design for the YOUMOU Coffee table was originally conceived back in 1959 by Sadi Ozis. This modern translation of the iconic miniature table comes with an an upholstered section for newspapers and magazines, which can be covered in fabric or leather. While an outstanding piece for any indoor room, the YOUMOU Coffee table is also outdoor appropriate, with a waterproof fabric slip to ensure that nothing tampers with the quality of this modern counter.
