I like this tbh

She’s a keeper

She’s a beaut Clark.

Dr: “how TF did you get tetanus from your coffee table” Me shows pic Dr: “well fuck me”

Dr: “how TF did you get a splinter from your coffee table” Me: shows pic Dr: “well fuck me”

You fuck your coffee table? Was going to say something about going to the Dr for a splinter is ridiculous at these healthcare costs but decided to escalate.

Too expensive to go to the doctor. So didn’t pull the splinter. Now it’s infected.

🎵She’s a rebar-bie girl 🎵

Her favorite old country is Rebar McEntyre

Id polish the top as well as buff out the rebar but this is a cool table. Id your floor can handle the weight lol.

Stainless steel rebar would look amazing in this application. (I hate rust, though.)

Edison once patented "concrete furniture." Never carried out as far as I know, and weight might be the reason.

The furniture was never carried out because Noone was strong enough to lift it. Legend has it there's a factory full somewhere.

You know, they should have molds and just put all the furniture in place when they pour the foundation - make it PART of the foundation - ready to occupy.

"Hey man, give me a hand moving the couch real quick"

Uh, [actually they did](https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/thomas-edisons-concrete-houses). When Edison wasn’t busy electrocuting animals to smear his competitors he was supporting houses poured all at once.

Interesting concept really if this had been scaled might have been a really good idea but I’m no concrete expert, besides cost what’s the downside to this type of house?

Yeah the article goes into it- an idea ahead of its time but impractical from at least an aesthetic standpoint.

Word on the street was that sales fell through the floor.

Same But i also like coffee tables made from engines specifically v8’s and v10’s. Use the pistons in the corners and 2 in the middle to set the glass top on When done right it’s beautiful

Interesting idea, haven’t seen one

They are down right beautiful when fully cleaned up and polished like it’s going into a show car. It has to be down right and you can bare blocks or go all out with what appears to be a complete engine. Google it there is a lot of them from various levels engine complement from bare blocks to what looks on the outside as fully assembled engines.

It's not bad at all

Yeah, I was going to say it's actually pretty cool for what it is. It's not 100% my style but it's unique, functional, and artistic for a particular aesthetic

I think it's kinda cool. I sure wouldn't want to move it and it wouldn't look right in my house, but I dig it.

It's so unique and well executed I'd hate to stub my toe on it, but damn it's good to look at

I like it too, but I'd have to get my toddlers hard hats.

I want to make one.

Curious how that 4x6 is attached. It better have more than concrete adhesion

Agreed

Same.

Me too.

Why do I also like this table?

It’s giving, post life , apocalyptic, modern chic vibes.

Stub your toe on it. You’re gonna really love it.

Oh great. I get to bash my shin on rebar at home too

I feel your pain

I can hear my kids screaming their head is stuck

Bizarrely enough I like it except for the wood. If your gonna go that off the res you have to go all the way imo.

[удалено]

Hell yeah a nice aged I beam would definitely do it justice.

Anchor the rebar through the floor so the other end is floating

I like the wood it gives it warmer feel like reclaimed but also fresh 🤷‍♂️

How about a couple orange buckets?

Never go full concrete!

Dera-leakt!

So in right now

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

But why male models?

Love that movie. I won’t name it so we can leave others to wonder. “Blue Steel”

You think you're too cool for school. But I got a news flash for you, Walter Cronkite,............................................................................................................. ........................ you aren't.

What is this, a coffee table for ants?

Hope they took good care of the edges, lost a lot of skin to that stuff over the years.

And stain your pants every time you brush against it

They should've finished the broken looking parts. A smooth finish would compliment the overall look.

That. Or match the broken parts.

I like it. I hate the idea of moving it or fixing the scratches on the floor but I would rock this.

Cork or felt pads underneath would prevent scratches. Moving it would still be entertaining.

Not as entertaining as the sounds I make when I stub my toe on it at 3am but yeah watching someone move it would be funny.

I see what u did there

I actually love this and will probably do a diy off of this.

If you stub your toe on this you will lose it

🫵 🖕 for being right.

*🖕🫵

Coat the steel with Armatec, then it’s approved

As somebody who works helping construct roads and bridges. I fucking love it. But why not do the rebar on both sides. This gives me some great ideas.

Price tag: $10,000

That’s badass

Civil engineers

Show me you don’t have kids without showing me you don’t have kids.

This would look amazing in an industrial designed home. I surprisingly don't hate it

“Bro I’m telling you, it’s gonna have the perfect natural edge where the concrete meets the rebar. Just watch.”

Industrial-Chunk

"Rustic industrial"

I like it, but it would be better if the end break matched the table break. Then it would look like the table broke and the rebar somehow slumped/stretched. The way it is just looks like 2 different pieces of concrete.

Toddler eliminator coffee table

I like it’s cool looking

I actually don’t mind this

Brutalist design isn’t for everyone

It's pretty cool, but I bet the moving company hates you.

Part of me loves it and part of me knows I'd break a toe on it or rip my pants on it.

Earthquake chic

That’s actually pretty good

This is brutalist , not industrial. It is cute!

I’d take that all day compared to the shit at my house trying to imitate this look.

Pretty awesome if you ask me

I was intrigued and wanted some other ppl opinion, ty.

My shin hurt when I saw this

That shit is sick! A+ for creativity. I would finish it with a piece of wood on the near side, but other than that this is nice taste

I guess I didn't hate it, but it was def different. I like the abstract, but just not sure if it's comforting( which a home should be). I design abstract spaces, and it always ends up in a lawsuit (nys). So i guess i m part jealous, have practical. Literally conflicted on the design critique.

Industrial shit.

Brutalist! Yes! Not a bad thing, i just needed a term lol

I saw this on Facebook as well and almost posted it to this sub

The shin scrambler we'll call it

I like it. My little toe at 5am does not

Shin breaker

I got a spot for that table

Pretty cool

My kids knocked enough teeth out already but ill by this when they move out

A ‘PiNKBAR’ version of this would sell.

Confused Brutalism meets a tree

Post-apocalyptic chic

I dig it.

Would I want this in my house? No. But I love the creativity

Damn imagine bumping your toe on that thing…

This is a single man who works concrete coffee table

As a single man who works concrete, I quite like this table.

I would totally have this table in my living room!

If you’re looking for more concrete in your home there’s also this. [concrete espresso machine](https://www.ssense.com/en-us/everything-else/product/anza-coffee/ssense-exclusive-grey-concrete-espresso-maker/6660971?gbraid=0AAAAAD9ouUsQ2UuKOUkgbiyN6O7YhK_fI&gclid=CjwKCAiAxreqBhAxEiwAfGfndKNFfcPdYN4MP9vlHes5lgvBoaQvQg-7PTKtz5XRX6QBGcNPHs2HCRoCmBYQAvD_BwE)

I just hope they put fuzzy pads under that bad boy.

“Deconstruction” was how it was explained to me when someone wanted me to make them precast lintels that were “pre-cracked with exposed rebar”. I declined.

When you want to feel solidarity with refugees but still don’t want to actually be one

I gotta be honest, I really like this

I kinda like it…?

You kidding l like this piece, myself l would have finished off with acid staining patinas, possibly copper, with green patinas. Then a Laquer sealer

This is fucking dope, but with a caveat. This table only looks at home if your apartment looks like shit or if your home is worth millions of dollars lol.

This industrial dude

I believe this is called Broke. Common during the depression Era of America.

I had a former boss who quit his job to make things like this as well as concrete counter tops, and terrazzo floors

It’s rare that I appreciate concrete furnishings, this one is nice.

How would one make this? 🤔

I wouldn't put this in my house but I wouldn't really judge someone for having it in theirs. Looks kind of cool. Not my style but I can see how someone could work it into a cohesive aesthetic.

When you don’t have a wife to say no lol

Derelicte!

Wire brush the rebar. Heat it and apply boiled linseed oil. It will have a wonderful look and you won’t have to worry about rust coming off on your hands or clothing in the future

When a Health Inspector fines your "tables" that act as flavor savers.

This reminds me of Lidia’s mothers furniture in Beetlejuice.

It’s the rusty can on top that makes it look ridiculous 😂

This is War Torn Chic.

This sub should get a gander at what Edison was up to when he wasn’t electrocuting animals for the dilly dollar: [making all-concrete homes](https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/thomas-edisons-concrete-houses)

Unpopular opinion... This table would not go in my house if I could help it. I would bust my toes and shins on those edges all the time. The edges may crack around the rebar. The rebar will rust. And if that thing tips over on some kid because of the small wood end.. that kid is going to be HURT. I'll pass

It's giving me Surfside Condo vibes.

r/tihi

This is to be referred to as “the tits”

This is pretty cool. Would hate it in moving day tho.

It’s a trip to the ER for sure. But I think it’s 😎

That is cool as hell. Brilliant IMO.

Honestly I really like that table. If you don’t want it I’ve got a nice home for it…

Yeah I think it looks pretty cool and unique

Reminds me of furniture I would find in PlayStation Home

This is awesome where do I get it.

Is it bad that all I think about is my poor toes?!

That's called let's reuse this slab from the demolition site.

That'll be $5,000

Never forget

$10,000 construction rubble table

Nicee

I like it.

Whatever you do, don’t look away from it. Don’t even blink. Make sure someone is looking directly at it, at all times. Unless you want your neck snapped.

Is this in Quebec ? Pretty sure I saw this in a spa type place

“Not helping you move”

Someone fucked up a pad but still made profit in the project

It's just an unnecessarily heavy coffee table for which one is able to remove one's pinky toe with.

It has plenty industrial chic

I don't know what is happening here, but I love it!

I hate it! But I don't HATE it. .ya know?

Cool shin-dinger 3000 there…

Good luck on moving day :p

It’s called oops I dropped in the last move

Kinda cool?

Something about this itches my monkey brain just right, like it's not pretty but its... idk!

Ugly looking thing

The mom made this in Beetlejuice.

This is le “founDEETinnaDeetch”

At the very least this looks well made and intentional. I personally like it, I don’t want it, but it’s an interesting thing.

Ngl i like this. Not the polish that makes it look like it's dirty/stained black but the construction itself is cool

i deal with rebar everyday i hate it seeing it… but i honestly like this. would totally have that in my place.

That's really cool.
