Then again, there are designs that just leave a question mark and a blank look on our faces, like this table for example. Called the “Don’t Sit On The Table!” (We took the liberty to add the exclamation mark), this coffee table looked more like an instrument of torture at first. The rack below, meant to keep those dog-eared magazines and books, boasts a bunch of pretty shape aluminium spikes, just like the ones you probably might find on a security wall at Guantanamo Bay. From above, the glass top gives an illusion of being spiked, which keeps your backside off the table-top or so designer Joseph Louis Tan thought!

Maybe this one would go just fine with an iron-maiden and a guillotine in your torture-chamber themed living room!
