A cool coffee table
Justin Howell passes along the following picture of a coffee table. It's pretty decent for placing a book titled, e.g., The Joy of Elder Gods.
Saw a bunch of tables like that at an art gallery in Kona, HI when I was out there a few years back. Massively cool! In addition, the ones they had on display had bits of the octopi/dolphins/fishies/etcetcetc poking through the glass, which I thought was a particularly nice touch. It gave the impression of breaking through the surface while still being a nice, flat surface for a table.
That's awesome, I totally want one. Cephalopods are so cool (though I prefer squid to octopi).
