Philippe Barsol has designed some pretty futuristic coffee tables, namely ones that are designed to house your laptop and tech devices so coffee breaks can really be working breaks--which is sort of an oxymoron.
Nevertheless, Philippe Barsol's designs feature coffee tables with hidden lockers and drawers to slide your laptop (cord connections and all) to safety if need be. The lockers are able to fold away so the top of the table is uncluttered. This Philippe Barsol coffee table in particular would be useful in any home that has teenagers who like to travel with their tech devices.
