Honda
Coffee Table
 

The Honda coffee table is made from a rear car window. The window provides a solid surface and is supported by four legs resembling tires. By placing the table's surface on wheels the original purpose of being from a car is kept. The window itself is from an '83 Honda Accord and the defrost lines are still intact. The wheels are made from rolled sheet metal and surrounded with rubber and can be used to hold magazines.

The design process for the Honda coffee table began with the rear window. Different bases were explored for supporting this window. A base resembling wheels from a car was chosen because it best reflected the reason the window existed in the first place. Honda can be taken apart and for easy storage and reassembly.
