Carbon Series Coffee Table

Carbon Series Coffee Table
When I came up with the idea for this coffee table or rather my "Carbon Series" <-Catchy; I was going for an easily broken down and very angular design. I'm pretty fond of sharp contrast and angles. But anyway this is the result. There is absolutely no screws, glue or nails in the piece. It is all held together by wedges and angles. It breaks down easily if you ever need to move and can be re-assembled in minutes. Its made off nothing but poplar hardwood and stained a dark ebony finish.

This has a true elegance. Beautiful. Being as the photo has nothing to reference for scale, I initially thought this was a dinner table. Good design will work big or small. And this one does
