The Tambour Table Helps Organize Your Geek Gadgets

— May 28, 2012 — Art & Design
The Tambour Table is a modern and inventive desk designed by Michael Bambino to hide cables. The desk has a simple and clean design, consisting of a wood tambour tabletop and metal legs. Concealed underneath the tabletop is an outlet and a handful of USB ports.

The top of the Tambour Table can be rotated to reveal a hidden storage area, and the aforementioned power ports. The legs of the tables are hollow and have a hole on the bottom, letting you run power cords through them. This ensures that no matter what, your cables will be stored safely and out of the way. Bambino's table is perfect for tech geeks, or those who just can't seem to keep their desks clean. Its smooth and functional design ensures that furniture snobs (you know who you are) will love it just as much.
