Bo Coffee Table

Here's another nifty multi-purpose coffee table from Bo Concept. As much as I like this table, I don't think it'll work for Gary's and Jessica's place for several reason.


1) It's rectangular. They really need a round table. A round table opens up a space while a rectangle or square table makes you want to visually box in the sitting area. It has a similar effect as a rug.


2) It's not glass. Since they got this mammoth leather sofa, they really need to offset it with something that's open and airy. Another blocky solid piece will just make the space look boxy, narrow, and small. This would only work if their sofa was smaller scale or lifted off the floor with legs.
Big couches can happen to the nicest people.
