Enzo Bellini Butterfly Table
This simple and elegant wooden table is the work of Enzo Bellini, a Colorado-based designer who is passionate about woodworking. His furniture has a sculptural aspect to it and he seeks to create designs that are both functional and artistic. His butterfly dining table and chairs use plenty of flat planes which highlight the natural beauty of the wood used. Also check out the look of the chairs. Gone are the standard four legs. The chairs use a butterfly shape that mimics the table support, stabilized with a crosspiece of wood at the base. The side chairs are supported by a butterfly shape that bisects the chair vertically and the end chairs use the same piece only horizontally. It's details like this that make Bellini's pieces so interesting. The butterfly table starts at $15,000.

I could make that. The only thing cool about it is the mixture of woods he's used, which break up the very ordinary lines of the table without being garish. The design itself looks like something a kid would sketch out in shop class.
Assuming there's not some crazy backstory to the materials that makes them crazy expensive, I'll duplicate that table in a week.
