Somebody's been peeking in our windows. How else can you explain a product so perfectly suited to our first-of-the-month ritual of sitting down at our coffee table with our checkbook, a stack of unpaid bills and the Real Housewives of New York marathon?
That's right, it's the Papervore: a modern-looking, powder-coated aluminum coffee table from Voos Furniture—but it comes with the added convenience of a document shredder built right in.
Some of you might say that we've used the word "convenience" loosely. But if you could cut your bill-paying time short with a simple (but expensive at $1,250—yikes!) piece of furniture, you'd be all about it too.
Instead of keeping a disorganized "to shred" stack of our most sensitive to-be-disposed papers on the coffee table in the midst of our plan, we'd be able to twist a mahogany and oak crank and get rid of the docs right away.
All of the scraps fall underneath the table into a clear acrylic bin underneath until they're needed for an art project or hamster cage.

You just shred your unpaid bills??? THAT'S what I've been doing wrong!
Sadly I think this would actually be useful despite the fact it is ugly. I am overwhelmed with paper and if I could just feed it through a shredder while catching my favorite shows on TV I might just manage to keep up. I'd want it powered though.
For someone who empties an office shredder weekly, I'd sure hate to try vacuuming up the paper dust mess that flies through the air & eventually settles on the floor.
