I like this alternative “bookshelf” because not only does it serve double duty as a coffee table but it also encourages people to actually pick up and read the books since it will probably end up being the center of attention in the living room. Designed by the unalboler Studio the table’s made of stainless steel and features what appears to be sliding panels providing access to all the books stored underneath.
