Mirror Collage Plasma TV Cabinet
Some plasma televisions are works of art in and of themselves and to hide them would be a shame. But most aren't so fabulous and are better kept out of sight when not in use. There are lots of clever ways to conceal a flat-screen television - I've seen them behind panels, paintings and drapes as well as inside pop-up entertainment centers. But as far as a remedy to the unsightly black hole of the television, this one gets points for creativity. Wood-framed beveled mirrors of different sizes overlap in an artful arrangement that not only hides your flat-screen television, but adds light and space to your room. The overall dimensions are 71"W x 11"D x 51" and the cabinet will accommodate most 50" plasma televisions. $4649.
Daniel Pohl Wood Buffet
Artist Daniel Pohl designs furniture to "create a rhythm for the eye." Using traditional paints made of powdered pigments, corn syrup, and vinegar, his hand-carved furniture designs are vibrant works of art. Constructed from pine and poplar found near his home in central Wisconsin, Pohl creates each piece using using traditional cabinetry techniques, with mortise and tenon joints and dove-tailed drawers. Each is unique and built to order. $12,800.
Jamie Hayon Showcase Cabinet
Spanish designer Jaime Hayon has a definite love of the playful (his pictures often show him in various costumes). His designs include toys, sculptures and furniture with a fantastical theme and a childlike look that belies their sophistication. His Showtime multi-leg cabinet is a prime example. It is modular and can be used with a variety of different leg styles. The old MGM musicals inspired Hayon's Showtime collection, which includes sofas, chairs and tables that turn 1940s glamour on its ear. The cabinet comes in white, blue or black. The base piece sells for $1749 and the leg modules are sold separately.
EuroCave 30th Anniversary Collector's Wine Cabinet
We've heard of wine collectors, but didn't quite realize that there were wine cabinet collectors, as well. EuroCave's 30th Anniversary Collector's Wine Cabinet is a limited edition piece from one of the top names in the wine storage industry that is loaded with top of the line features. It has a customizable hygrometry system for maintaining optimum humidity levels and a digital monitoring system that will minimize possible disturbances to the wine. The "cellular quality barrier" walls protect from outside heat and cold and the double-paned glass door is UV treated. The cabinet has a grape-leaf pattern on the door, 14 sliding beechwood shelves and can hold up to 195 bottles of wine. Price: $4,000.
Tetra 1 Cabinet
Tetra 1 is a 10 drawer cabinet that will appeal to those who enjoy Tetris-themed furniture because of the interesting look that the different sized drawers create when pieced together. In the same way that Tetris pieces can fit in may different configurations, this cabinet is versatile enough to fit into many different rooms. It could be used as a dresser, as a linen cabinet or for simple storage, both in adult and children's rooms. The unit is made of Birch Euro-ply and has six natural-finish drawers, three dark sable drawers and one brightly colored drawer in your choice of blue, orange green or white. The top shelf will be painted to match the colored drawer, as well. It measures 53" H x 38" W x 19" D. Price: $2,600.Secret Cabinet
While I wouldn't mind finding a secret entrance to another place at the back of my wardrobe, the scenario seems fairly unlikely. The closest that I can probably hope to come by purchasing furniture that was designed with a much less magical secret, like the Secret Cabinet being sold by Anthropologie. The grey cabinet is made of poplar and appears to be a five-door dresser from the outside, but once the hinged door is opened, a sunny yellow interior with adjustable shelves is revealed. It measures 76"H x 43.5"W x 20.5"D. Price: $1,998.
Blend Wardrobe
A wardrobe is just a place to keep your clothes, but by calling the cabinet a "vertical storage space," it suddenly sounds much more purposeful and versatile, which is probably why that descriptor is applied to Karim Rashid's Blend. Made of lacquered wood, the piece has a tremendous visual appeal to it and is certainly unique - no matter what you decide to call it. It is available in one and two-door versions Price: $2,600.

Fake Riches Cabinet
Designer Helen Waites has come up with this brilliant Fake Riches Cabinet, which not only allows your dishes to stand in as artwork when not in use, but also adds some grandeur to what would otherwise be plain white plates. The cabinet has two layers, a back rack and an overlying glass face, which is decorated with pale blue patterns of the type often seen on antique plates. The white plates cause the designs to pop out, giving the impression that you actually have antique china in the display. We disagree with the possibility of gaining a "sense of worth" from such a cabinet, but that doesn't mean we like it any less.
