DIY Magazine Coffee Table Requires No Cutting or Glue
18Posted on November 21, 2008 by Doug Gunzelmann in Concept+Design, DIY, Home+Decor
Vered Zaykovsky put his thinking cap on when he engineered this upcycled table base using copies of Domus magazine. The added weight of the glass top and the support of the metal bottom plate keep the table upright. Check out the gallery after the jump.
This structure uses 6 magazines arranged in a circular pattern, much like a design we feature awhile back. While that plant stand relied on individual pages folded back and was oriented completely vertically, Vered used a much more dynamic and visually appealing approach.
I have to be honest, this design looks somewhat questionable in its practicality. I haven’t had the opportunity to make this yet (don’t have a piece of suitable glass) but I wonder how stable it would be in the real world?

“Please stop saying it?” Who the hell are you to tell him what words to use? And why on earth do you care?
Anyway, pretty cool.

I would also question its practicality. But it makes good photo opportunities.

I would like to refer you all to the Mythbusters telephone book/ yellow pages episode. They spend the entire episode trying to rip two yellow pages apart which are only being held together by the friction of the papers, that are over lapping each other one by one. Although, I also question the integrity or even the stability of the design. I think that is the general premise of the construction and if that’s so it should remain fairly sturdy, at least as a magazine holder. I also think it looks really cool and is a nice method in which to recycle.
