Juxtaposed:Power
- Designed by: Mike and Maaike, Athmeya Jayaram

Designed more for bibliophiles than beach readers, Juxtaposed:Power makes a statement by placing seven seminal political tomes—by the likes of Plato, Sayyid Qutb, and Karl Marx—on the level. Each philosophical treatise fills in a custom-cut groove in the reclaimed hardwood mantle. As curator Athmeya Jayaram explains, “It expresses a deep appreciation for the beliefs of others—an understanding that there are a range of values worth living by—even if one still prefers one’s own.”
