Precious Famine Coffee Table by Toni Grilo


Coffee Table by Toni Grilo

Take a close look at this coffee table. No, your eyes are not deceiving you. It’s made of hundreds of pieces of tableware. It’s the Precious Famine coffee table by Lisbon based designer Toni Grilo. I really do like this piece, however my very first impression of it I imagined what the designer was doing minutes before the concept popped into his head. Here’s my re-enactment:

Toni: (fwwwwwp…sound of water bong percolating) Yo, Elder (the name of Toni’s partner) this is some seriously good weed you scored.

Elder: Yep.

Toni: Dude. This grade ‘A’ Dutch MaryJane is giving me the munchies. You got something to eat?

Elder: Nope.

Toni: No, dude? Damn, I’m hungry. Holy shit! I got a new idea for a table! (fwwwwwp) Check it. It’s a table made of table ware! Seriously. And I think I’ll call it ‘Precious Famine’… pass me the bong.

    “Yoooohh”, I’m Toni (the guy with hungry).
    I really don’t know where do you saw my piece, but I have to congratulate your imagination ! I enjoy the supposed moment of criation. Only one thing : I don’t smoke, sorry to desappoint you, but I’m like Obélix, I fall in the magic potion pot when I was a kid…
    Thanks and best regards.

    I was surfing the internet Monday afternoon during my break, and found your blog by searching MSN for bong parts. This is a topic I have great interest in, and follow it closely. I liked your insight on Precious Famine Coffee Table by Toni Grilo very much, but I don\’t quite aggree with everything you said. However it is still good reading, and makes some good points. Keep up the good work…

    […] A few weeks ago, I offered up a design that was a table made from hundreds of pieces of silverware. That little blurb went over famously. The awesome blog OhGizmo! picked it up and helped it get out to the masses. So, I thought I’d be clever and go one step further with my weird silverware theme and include the Tooltime Flatware by Walking Chair Studios.  Lo, and behold, OhGizmo! has it on their site already. Seems both sites have similar obsessions. Whatever. It’s still cool. I mean, who wouldn’t like the ability to eat dinner and fix a car without having to buy two sets of stuff. These utensils actually save you money right out of the box. […]
