This one is too cool! The LED table, designed by Julian Appelius and Fabien Dumas, may look like a regular table at first, but that changes when you place something down. When an object—usually transparent—interrupts the path of the light through the table, the light gets transferred into the object and lights it up all pretty-like. (w/video)
Picture the scene. It’s your first date: you met her on a subway train, when the carriage struck a tunnel duck and she was jolted against the copy of The Female Eunuch you were reading. Over apologies you invited her round for dinner; you’ll cook spaghetti bolognese, only with pasta bows because you haven’t got a saucepan big enough to lay the spaghetti out flat. The meal goes well, too well perhaps; wine flows, talk turns to how difficult it is to get a taxi at this late hour. Entirely misreading the situation, you throw down a packet of extra-lubricated condoms onto the table and tell her “the bedroom is that way, sweet-cheeks”. The LEDs embedded in your dining table illuminate the prophylactics beautifully as she slaps you and strides out the door.
We are not sure of all the uses for this, but be sure to check out the video.
