Who says furniture has to be all about function? Every once in a while it's nice to throw practicality to the wind and indulge in some sheer creative inspiration...
Conceptual Furniture Designs
Boston
The "Paint or Die But Love Me" table, shown above the jump, is one of many conceptual designs from French artist John Nouanesing.
As we saw yesterday in Aaron's Small-Space Sofa post, the image above comes from a contemporary art exhibit at Parcours Saint-Germain.
We're not sure who to attribute this little bookshelf to but we discovered it over at Do Something Pretty. We love to see artists and designers letting loose and stirring the pot of convention in the world of furniture!

It looks very unusual, but in the right room I think that table would be pretty neat.

I like that bookcase alot.
The red table though...I'd feel like I was in an episode of Dexter. Not inspiring of serenity, me thinks.

I am in love with the red table too. I think it would work so well in an artist's studio as a work table (if it's sturdy enough that is!) :)

Conceptual? More like sculptural and functional!
I would do anything, I mean ANYTHING, to have that red table!

actually this is conceptual design that can be functional too. love that table and the book case is pretty neat too. The sofa is try too hard and looks like brocade does surrealism.

I've seen the table around the internet a few times and I just can't help myself. I'd have nowhere to put it and it wouldn't match anything I own, but I WANT IT! ^_^
I would also love to play around with that bookcase.
And if I had kids I'd put that sofa in their room. Because I think kids would be so in love with that.
