Tabletop Clock: Time For Dinner

This is one of those situations where we’re torn between ‘terrible idea’ and ‘kinda like it’. The Time Table is an idea from designer Ross McBride and transforms your run-of-the-mill coffee table into a gargantuan digital watch at the flick of a switch. It uses a 6cm layer of electroluminescent plastic to create the digits, which are automatically updated wirelessly to keep the correct time. There’s also a built-in alarm and timer to switch off automatically and any settings are saved so you don’t have to reprogram anything. Provided the tabletop, when the lights are turned off, retains the stylish brushed-steel look of the legs we think it’d go quite well in contemporary flats. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be any information on pricing or availability, so it could well be one of those ridiculously expensive grandiose designs. If you like the idea, check out the rest of McBride’s range from the website link below, there’s some pretty funky stuff on offer. - Paul Lester [NormalDesign] table clock concept
