Designed by Alan Liu of Mobellio, the Velocita has wooden supports that represent the smooth lines and speed of Ferrari supercars. Accented with a 20-inch rim and a brake disc, the glass-topped desk is a piece of car art that is almost too pretty to touch. Just like an actual Ferrari.

The brake discs come mounted on a steel L-shaped frame that is coated in glossy black paint. It’s an unexpected piece that isn’t just useful, it’s a mini work of car art.
Buck Race Car
Everyone should accent their desk with a cool desktop toy. Break up the monotony of the day with the Buck Toy Race Car. This little racer is equal parts fun, whimsical, and artistic and will look right at home sitting atop your new Velocita desk.
For Your Man Cave
1959 Corvette Pool Table
Your man cave or den is where you can cut loose and be bold. And there’s nothing bolder than a car-shaped pool table. Inspired by the classically cool 1959 Corvette, this made-in-the-USA tournament-size pool table features working lights, chrome bumpers, and the pièce de résistance – real whitewall rims and tires.
Auto Parts Chess Set
What man cave would be complete without a stylish chess set. It shows guests you’re a true gentleman with sophisticated hobbies. But you’re also a dude who loves cars. Luckily, Mexican artist Armando Ramirez has created Recycling Challenge – a chess set made from recycled auto parts. With spark plug bishops and cogwheel rooks, this black and silver set speaks to your dynamic personality as a gentlemanly gearhead.
For Your Bedroom
Avantgarde Bed
You already dream about cars all night, why not sleep in a sleek, vintage sports car inspired bed? The Avantgarde Bed, from Italian design studio Think Future Design, has an ultra contemporary look. The headboard swoops up from the frame and it comes in an extra glossy finish reminiscent of classic racing cars.
Classified Moto Floor Lamp
Classified Moto’s Floor Lamp is created from reclaimed parts of Japanese motorcycles from the 70’s and 80’s. The base is a brake rotor and transmission gear while the neck is a spring and shock. The industrial look of the lamp is enhanced by the dents and dings in the motorcycle parts that can only come from years of cruising the open road
