Our love of antique printers’ blocks is obviously shared by the designer of the Alpha Coffee Table.
Carved from a single piece of wood, the table top has raised letters and numbers painted in different colours to look like those vintage blocks. The wood used is sustainable plantation-grown shesham wood, so you can buy it with a clear conscious too.
It is available exclusively from Crate and Barrel priced $899 (approximately £500).
