18 Of The Most Magnificent Table Designs Ever

A table is probably the most simplistic piece of furniture that we just cannot live without. Plain wooden board with four legs has so many uses that we have one specifically designed for the office, kitchen, dining room, a shop, and even for a hospital operating room. And you’ve probably never thought about it, but tables can be turned into astounding works of art and not just utilitarian pieces of furniture.

Here at Bored Panda, we can’t get over the fact that creative designers are still able to find ingenious new ways to turn table design into works of art. You’d think there’s only so many different ways to reinvent a board with four legs, but these 18 examples of brilliant and cool design will prove you wrong, and a simple coffee table decor won’t cut it to this list.

What makes these tables so remarkable is their effortless fusion of function and unique design. Each is a piece of art meant to be used, not just admired. From majestic wood log dinner tables and picnic kitchen tables to ghost coffee tables, the ways to re-invent this household property are uncountable.

I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.

David Gill is not the designer for the ocean tables. David Gill holds galleries where it is sold. GAETANO PESCE is the designer.

Wow, this article is amazing. Wood based designs will always be a passion of mine. Especially wooden tables. We have a few wooden table scattered around our house as carpentry runs in my family. My pap is constantly making tables! As I'm a teacher and have 6 weeks holiday now to get through, I wanted to get creative and start building something of my own with my dad. I actually found some good, quality Timber Hoarding wood from a local company and I've built my very table for the garden. It's only tiny but it's perfect for a glass of wine to go on. I know that this type of Timber wood is typically used on construction sites, but I wanted to try my hand at doing something out of the ordinary. This article has definitely given me the inspiration to start another project with my husband. Maybe a deckchair for the beach? I'd love to see more of these inspirational ideas.
