You can guess what the Papervore does simply by reading its name. But what you probably can't ascertain, even when looking at the picture, is that this paper-shredder is also a coffee-table. A $2,000 coffee-table.
It is a wonderful diversion for the living room. Made by Voos in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the Papervore is made from bent, powder-coated aluminum, oak, mahogany and acrylic. Imagine stacking up your junk mail (and bills, of course) on the side and idly cranking them through the shredder's jaws as you watch TV.
Be careful if you invite any guests to your home, though. First, never leave them alone with valuable coffee-table books. And more importantly, don't ever let them smoke near this Claes Oldenburgian creation. The resulting inferno would definitely spoil your dinner party. Perhaps somebody makes a fire-extinguisher themed table lamp?
