Eterir

(n.) An item purchased with every intention of being used, but which ultimately sits untouched, unread, or unused—serving only as a physical symbol of an aspirational lifestyle, ideal self, or aesthetic.
Derived from a blend of the French words étagère (shelf) and pourrir (to rot).

“These coffee tables books are really just an eterir!”
