Designer Boris Ignatov's News Coffee Table is a furniture piece that addresses the issue of organization when it comes to reading materials (because most of us, I'm sure, simply throw our magazines and newspapers haphazardly, only to be frustrated when tidying up later).
Inspired by his small New York City apartment, Ignatov designed this origami-like, multi-functional coffee table to create a more efficient space. The News Coffee Table, as its name suggests, provides users with a newspaper rack and coffee table in one, which is perfect for "people who love sipping coffee while browsing magazines," says the designer. With its small size, hexagonal shape and hidden wheels on its bottom, the table can fit into any small living space and easily moved around when necessary.
