While this coffee table is not as sleek as the MILK desk or as stylish as the OneLessDesk, there is something about it that asks for attention. Designed by Matthew Warren and Scott Behr of Total Metal Resource, Inc. (TMRnyc), the Electrified Blue Table aims to provide a neat solution for the range of plugs necessary to power the gadgets we use on a daily basis, including laptops, hard drives, cellphones, music players or guitar amps. The table has plugs on its sides and on the feet. The main aim behind designing this table was electrifying the furniture, so that it becomes truly functional and not just pretty. When we talk of design, it’s just plain. The electrified table is a steel frame, which is lacquered with a light blue graffiti-like spray paint. As they have said, I don’t think this table would be fun, but yes, it’s highly functional. This table is a direct answer to Behr’s goal of making furniture a part of our environment that interface with technology and the devices that we interact with on a daily basis. The Electrified Blue Table is simply great on concept and I think it makes for a great DIY project. It is scheduled to appear at BKLYN DESIGNS in less than a month.
