Top 10 Hi-Tech Coffee Tables: Groovy
Tired of watching your wine-glasses topple of that crappy wicker coffee table you bought in Oxfam for a tenner? Or maybe you just want something all shiny and happy in the middle of the room? That’s good enough for me. Take a look at Born Rich’s Top 10 techie coffee tables of all time. I’m not sure I agree with the Microsoft Surface being Number 1. since I tend to like the odder, ‘looks-over-real life-functionality’ appeal of some of the others. Take the WAVE LED Coffee Table [ranked 9th] above, which is stimulated by movement on its surface. There are 32 active and passive optical sensors that drink 35W to juice up the 480 LED lights, which light up in an outwards pattern - like water ripples - from the contact spot. I’m not sure if the table has been built to withstand shagging couples but you can be damn sure some people are giving it a go. I’m also fond of the Arcade Gaming Table from Surface Tension, if for no other reason than it’s a good way to disguise having a gaming PC in the living room while pretending it’s a retro piece of tech-art.-Martin Lynch [Bornrich] home gadget design
