Materials: Frosta Stool, Screws, Screwdriver
Description: These are Frosta stools (a copy of an Alvar Alto stool for Artek) hacked into small coffee tables by moving the legs around (and using it differently than intended). I did not make these, I just saw them outside a place called Tully's Cafe on the corner of Götgatan and Högbergsgatan in Stockholm, and thought I'd submit them.
Not sure if the stools are available at IKEA in the US though? They are called Frosta in Sweden at least.

Materials: 2 x FROSTA Stools and 8 dowels
Description: Each speaker stand will require 4 FROSTA stool legs and 4 dowels (from IKEA as well!)
Simply stick four of them together. Use two dowels at the top of the stand to prevent the speaker from slipping backwards. Use the other two at the bottom of the speaker stand to prop the stand up a bit and to reduce the tilt angle as well.
Since there are already drilled holes at the front, I threaded some rope through it to hold them together and to cover up the drilled holes as well.
That's it!

Materials: Frosta Stool x 2, Antifoni Work Lamp, Angle Brackets x 4, Cord Tidy x 2
Description: Using a couple of Frosta stools and an Antifoni lamp, I've created a Frosta side table with a built in light.
I wanted an small side table with a lamp on it - however simply placing a lamp on top was going to take up far too much valuable surface space.
The Antifoni lamp was perfect for my needs, as the lamp base and arm are detachable - and the arm can easily be inserted into a hole drilled into the Frosta top. For best results, drill a hole in line with a leg, as you'll be able to secure the lamp power cable to the leg later.
Just remember not to drill the hole too wide, as you'll want the lamp to be a secure fit (though if you do - a length of insulation wrapped a few times around the arm before being inserted into the drilled hole will help). Once in place, you'll be able to swivel the arm freely.
The lower shelf, from a second Frosta stool, is secured in place using four angle brackets, one for each leg.
A couple of cord tidies stuck on the back of one leg to keep the power cable neat and out of sight, and you're done!
(And in case anyone is wondering, the headphones are on a couple of superb Sieveking Sound Omega headphone stands - details here)
