Inspired by the iPhone and a previous reader-made iPod coffee table, iLounge readers Tuan Nguyen, Ken Thomas and their associates have created an iPhone coffee table. According to Nguyen, the table is “completely made of corrugate and glued together with white glue,” and features removable, usable coasters built-in. Congrats to Tuan and his friends on their creation — more pictures of the table and coasters are below.

Best thing about the table is it will outlast the real thing, then when it dies you’ll have a casket to throw some trendy ### funeral :D

A tutorial would not do you much good if you don’t have access to a CAD table, large format digital printer and of course a lot of corrugate. We used 15 sheets of 51 BC double wall, 2 sheet of 32 B flute (1 white top and 1 silver liner). Coasters are made from black .040 Styrene. Glad everyone like the table.
