Leave it to me to fall in love with a table called Jealous Again. Clever name aside, the table itself is a marvel. I particularly like how Solid Jatoba, anodized aluminum, sand blasted acrylic are coalesced into a cohesive design unit. I also love what appears to be a sliding panel or paddle, if you will, which protrudes from the bottom section. Might that be used to inconspicuously display a coffee table book? Or to place discreet cocktails for a brief afternoon assignation? Possibilities.......

Another great thing about Mr. Sporuse's designs is that some of them are large enough to embody large spaces, while some pieces add an instant element of tasteful, modern elegance to smaller spaces, all the while retaining an earthy, clean sensibility.
