Mixing art with science, artist Makoto Tojiki, who currently resides in Yokohama, Japan, designed the Newton's Table as a reminder that gravity is always around.
The stark white table has a concave design to reflect the force of Sir Isaac Newton's famous law. The dip is great for aesthetics, though your guests may think you punched the dent in yourself. The clean edges and simple design further emphasize how a simple action, like the falling of an apple, can lead to such a massively important discovery.
Newton's Table comes in a larger dinner table size as well as a compact coffee table, and is a great find for science enthusiasts to mull over.
