Doca Autunno Flatpack Table

This is no ordinary coffee table. First of all, it's made of cardboard - not wood or plywood. Second of all, it's patterned. Although more patterned tables have been cropping up in the last few years, they're still lesser known in traditional circles.

The most exciting part doesn't have to do with its functionality as a table, but rather its ability to come together with other Doca Autonno's and form a set of load-bearing shelves. The result can surprisingly hold a man's full weight. Think of it as origami for giants.

The genius behind this design is the Brazilian designer RS Miranda. He was given a lot of accolades when his table first appeared at the Milan Furniture Fair in 2005. The table measures 35.5 inches x 22.5 inches and sits 14 inches high.
