DeLighTable by Thomas Gardner
by DJ Neawedde | 19th August 2006
Designer Thomas Gardner’s creation lets you interact with light on tables - after you scribble, sit back and watch it disappear. The DeLighTable, was inspired from a visit to a toy shop. The table has a surface which lights up when you put pressure on it - by moving thick black liquid out of the way to let the light shine through. “I wanted to make something that would appeal to everyone,” said Gardner. Length: 900mm. Width: 450mm, Height: 300mm - Available at Kloss for £1200 ($2257.70). View demo below.

Ein Tisch den (große) Kinder lieben werden…
… oder der coolste Couchtisch der Welt? Vielleicht beides. Inspieriert wurde der Designer Thomas Gardner angeblich tatsächlich von den ‘Zauber-Schreibblöcken’ für Kinder. Nette Querdenk-Geschichte. [zum Video]

Wow, that’s actually pretty cool. If the price drops to, say, 500$ I’d surely buy one.

[…] This table is similar to the upright Microsoft TouchLight technology which lets users move and manipulate three-dimensional images with their hands. We also posted about the iBar interactive bar table, which is geared more towards design and pleasure, letting users create patterns of glowing light when touched. The DeLightTable by Thomas Gardner, an ‘interactive coffee table’, is also similair to the iBar interactive table. […]

[…] Here is a table with similar properties, but different aspect. The DeLighTable by Kloss also uses motion detectors in order to make it interactive. Its touch-sensitive surface not only lets you draw on it, but if you put a glass on it, it will light up and produce a beautiful effect until you lift the glass off the table surface. After two years of research, the DeLighTable is finally available for sale on the Kloss website for 1,200 GBP. […]
