Riot Ready Furniture

Prepare for a siege with this coffee table featuring a built in shield.

We saw a fair share of civil unrest in 2011, so naturally designers Max Arlestig and Maximilian Gebhardt thought to prepare any home for future (potentially dangerous) protest movements. The New York-based duo created their "In Case Of Riot" table of square steel tubing and a removable, ready-made riot shield. Smart stuff. And, the look is pretty cool regardless of if it needs protective use. [Dezeen]
