Smart furniture often puts displays in the spotlight, but the conceptual 'Etto' table is designed in a different direction to highlight an unobtrusively connected functionality.
Designed by Dan Nigri, the table features a simple wooden construction that would appear quite unassuming in the modern home. The tabletop, however, offers access to a number of games that are perfect for family members to play after a meal. The touchscreen design also works effectively as a project board or a calendar to help couples or families handle their day-to-day schedule.
The conceptual 'Etto' table highlights a subtly smart construction that strikes a balance between function and form. The furniture piece also observes a need amongst consumers to disconnect from technology, which is made easy thanks to the display that disappears when not in use.
