"Binary Table 01" by BRC Designs

in Furniture Design

BRC Designs has created a new table, BNR01110100 011000010110 001001101100 01100101-01 or the "Binary Table 01", that is entirely composed of discarded (outdated) electronics. The substructure consists of old computer towers clad with a patchwork circuit-board exoskeleton. The glass tabletop was likewise salvaged from an abandoned warehouse.

Moreover, the hardware is interactive—the disks spin, buttons click and sliders, well, slide—reverting digital to analog and nicely complementing the inside-out effect. Perhaps all it takes is a bolt of lightning to bring this Franken-ENIAC to life...

BRC Designs will be exhibiting at the upcoming ICFF in May. Stay tuned for more details.

@lucklucky It's a bad design because it is a waste of recyclable materials? Gimmee a break! At least the ugly-as-hell table is made of re-purposed material!

just one question, don't those discarded electronics contain some harmful materials within? Or can they be rendered harmless after following certain process(es)?
