The Soft Spot Table is a table-cum-bench designed by Stephen Reed as a product of what he describes as "acknowledging the behavior of people perching on the edge of coffee tables." I find the perspective pretty interesting.

The table has two halves – one that can be used as a normal coffee table and the other connected half that you can sit on. What's so unique about that ? The idea is that when you sit on the latter half, it bends to provide a cushioning experience. This part of the table is made of wood tiles connected with elastic cords that create the cushioning effect and can be used as a normal table as well. The specifications do not talk about the maximum weight that the elasticity can handle, though. And there isn’t a price tag available yet..

If you think you have a soft corner for this soft spot table, check it out at the Stephen Reed's site.
