Usually when you see a design like this you immediately assume it is just the artistic vision of a bored industrial designer. At first glance, this is a fairly respectable-looking and simple coffee table design - a round wood-paneled rim surrounding a mysteriously sunken center. On closer inspection, however, its radical dual purpose is quickly revealed. Whether you would want to use it as an indoor table is questionable but sitting around it outside seems to make at least some sense. However, the shin-height siding also renders it somewhat less practical when you think about it more.
