"like an emerald-cut diamond "

With few people willing to spend $1,500 on a coffee table, let alone $15,000, will anyone buy furniture that not only looks like an emerald-cut diamond but also costs as much as one? Alexandra Von Furstenberg's 15-grand Bullet table consists of clear acrylic panels fused with black and mirrored accents in beveled configurations that reflect and refract light as you move around them. Art Deco geometry, meet Studio 54 decadence. 9001 Melrose Ave., West Hollywood; (310) 777-0253; alexandravonfurstenberg.com.
