Sunday, 14 September 2008Alphabet brew: Letter blocks for coffee cups The Alpha Coffee Table from Crate and Barrel is inspired by a find in a Paris flea market and is carved from a single piece of wood with raised letters and numbers, protected by tempered glass.This coffee table would certainly be a conversation started and such a great example of retro/modern, old meets new. If only it was available in Australia, I would snap it up in an instant! Check out the Alpha Coffee Table. Labels: alphabet, brown, coffee, coffee table, Crate and Barrel, decor, furniture, red

Two things in the past 12 hours that I have searched for online have led me straight to your blog. The first was for a retro telephone bench, and yours was my favourite of the search. The second was for this Alpha Coffee Table that I had seen at Crate and Barrel when I was in the States in November and now unfortunately is no longer available to buy online. Looks like we have similar tastes and styles! I too have had my eye on a Flensted mobile at the London Design Museum shop for some time now (I'm a big Sandy Calder fan but cannot afford an original Calder)! Anyway, just wanted to say that I like your blog and will continue peeking in here! :)
