Just a few days ago we showed you a mockup for iPhone Table Connect. It transfers the data from your phone and projects it onto a 58-inch table display with multitouch—essentially turning your entire desk into a working iPhone.
Admittedly, I had my doubts about the table, but they promised demo videos and what they delivered doesn’t completely debunk it—although the fact that they put the iPhone to sleep before the demo is highly suspect.
They claim that the software running the screen is still in the alpha stage, so it might take a while before the desk is finalized—and there’s no word yet on what these guys plan to do with the table once it reaches that stage. I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if this turned out to be fake, but we will just have to wait and see.
Check out the video on CubicleBot…
From CubicleBot: What you are looking at is a mockup of a 58-inch, fully functional iPhone table with a multitouch display. The Table Connect accepts connections from a normal iPhone 3GS/4 and transmits the UI to the desk.
Again, this is just a mockup, but a demo video of a working prototype is supposedly coming in a few days—and we wouldn’t be surprised if they actually went up for sale at some point. Just imagine—full-sized games of virtual air hockey and a game giant Angry Birds that requires teamwork to play.

The name “Slide-Eat” pretty much says it all. This concept table from Studio Klass is designed to allow kids to eat their dinner, then slide off when finished.
So, maybe it should be called Eat-Slide then. And you know that this might be a little too much excitement for kids right after eating, so maybe Eat-Slide-Vomit would be a better name. Not only for this table, but as a sequel to the book Eat, Pray, Love.

Although these are actually illuminated bedside tables, it’s hard to ignore the resemblance to those tiny desks you used in elementary school. All I need is one of those uncomfortable chairs with the big hole in the ass and some fruit snacks and I’m ready for storytime. Although it’s also nice to have something light the way to the bathroom at 4AM when you’re groggy and need to piss. Check out some additional photos after the break.

The Puma chalk table is a handmade ping pong table with a ceramic surface that allows it to function like a chalkboard. That means you can easily keep score when playing games—including games that involve beer. Hell, you can even trash talk your opponent with it. Put it in a college dorm and I guarantee it will be covered with a giant wang inside 5 minutes.
The Puma table isn’t just a concept either. It was unveiled at the Conran Shop today for $3900.

It’s the table you would expect to find in the Situation Room on the Planet of the Apes. And the Doomsday Clock would probably look something like the one pictured after the break.

Joongho Choi’s concept table “Pixable” is supposed to be an artistic representation of pixels, which are described by the artist as “expanding the boundary of the art format since it replaces paper”. However my first thought, besides the fact that it looks like a bunch of cannibalized Rubik’s Cubes, it that it would have been the perfect piece of background furniture for Peter Gabriel’s “Big Time” video. It also reminds me of “Marble Madness”. Probably not the futuristic edge Joongho was looking for… Unless this thing was designed in 1975.
