Remembrance from Mitch Steinmetz is perhaps the most creative coffee table I have ever come across. That is high praise considering the fact that I consider myself a connoisseur of sorts when it comes to coffee tables.
Remembrance is a coffee table that is designed like and also functions as a photo album. I find this design ingenious because it functions as so many different items in one small package. Remembrance is first and foremost a coffee table, but it can also hold pictures when opened. Its hollowed-out section is perfect for random odds and ends like books, TV remotes and Detroit Tigers hats. Like all great designs, as of present, this too seems to be strictly a one-off concept.
