Communal Fireplace Coffee Tables

The Conceptual 'Hearth' Coffee Table Offers Soothing Heat

— January 12, 2022 — Art & Design
Gathering around the coffee table is a far more common social activity these days than gathering around the fireplace, so the conceptual 'Hearth' coffee table is intended to help strike a balance between the two.

Designed by Maximillian Burton of the California-based Industrial Craft design studio, the coffee table features an unassuming construction that could be easily incorporated into any modern living space. The unit, however, would provide soothing heat from the base and a glowing appearance from the upper section to mimic the experience of sitting near a fireplace hearth.

The conceptual 'Hearth' coffee table would function as the perfect piece of furniture for urbanites without a fireplace to help them enjoy an old-fashioned pastime in a modern way.
Trend Themes
1. Retrofuturistic Furniture - Creating furniture that combines nostalgic designs with modern technology will provide an innovative and unique offering for consumers.
2. Multifunctional Furniture - Expanding the use of furniture to provide more than one function such as heating and storage will appeal to consumers who value practicality and functionality.
3. Smart Home Furniture - Integrating innovative technology such as voice-activated controls and personalized settings into furniture will revolutionize how people interact with everyday household items.
Industry Implications
