From Jeff Skierka Designs comes this scaled-up handmade mixtape coffee table. From Jeff’s site:
This coffee table is a 12:1 scaled replica of a cassette tape. It is made of reclaimed maple, walnut and lucite. Dimensions are 47.25″ x 30″ x 5″ with a 3/8″ plexi top. This is a first prototype and one of a kind table. Future versions will be CNC machined out of high grade plywood with a variety of ply combinations and a glass top. This table has been an obsession of mine for 5 years! It is amazing to finally have it come to fruition. The table is completely reversible (sides A and B).

I love this bold chevron statement wall over on Design Sponge! They make it look so easy and yet it packs a strong design punch.
