Wall Art/Furniture...DIYable???
By DIY Maven
Designer John Nouanesing’s Fix It On The Wall Furniture is a piece of art and, when you need it, a coffee table and four cushions, and I’m thinking it’s DIYable. Picture it, you fabricate your cushions, table top and legs, and then you trace their images on a piece of plywood. (Maybe even sandwich two together to get some depth.) You cut out their shapes with a jigsaw and then apply that to another piece of plywood. A couple coats of paint and » READ MORE
The ‘Iris’ Coffee Table
By DIY Maven
Michael Bihain’s new ‘Iris’ coffee table is made from a single sheet of steel. The shape is laser cut and then bent accordingly. Bending the top three ‘petals’ down to form the legs seems so simple and yet incredibly innovative. Stackable, 'Iris' can be uses indoors or out. Via.

Build A Mid-Century, Noguchi-ish, Spaceship Table
By Chrisjob 
With very minimal woodworking know-how, I built a mid-century-ish, Isamu Noguchi-inspired “spaceship” table for under $80. The top is similar to Noguchi’s 1948 “Noguchi Table” and the legs are inspired by Noguchi’s Akari series of table and floor lamps.
[When I first made the table, there was no Curbly.com, so I didn’t think to take step-by-step photos. However, I decided to remake the legs to adjust to the height of my new sofa, an » READ MORE
