Create your art on a work of art with the Herman Miller Nelson Swag Leg Rectangular Work Table ($1,249). This terrifically minimal desk, first introduced in 1958, features a white laminate or walnut veneer top and its namesake chromed metal legs which are formed by "swaging" steel.

Inspired by the reflective, flat surfaces of an undisturbed pool and the man-made squares that accompany them, the Pool Coffee Table ($700) can add a touch of serenity to you busy living room. Made from tempered glass, the table's top and sides are permanently fused at mitered corners using a UV gluing process that offers both strength and a clean connection. All exposed edges have been polished down to make them smooth to the touch, and the top surface's color is baked on to the bottom of the panel, meaning its deep, gleaming finish will last for years to come.
