I don’t know if I’d like to have one in my home, but BRC Designs’ new Binary Table 01 is entirely composed of outdated and discarded electronics. The whole structure consists of old computer towers and built from a patchwork of circuit boards. The glass tabletop was also salvaged from a abandoned warehouse. It’s kind of awesome(ly ugly).
That’s not all. The hardware is interactive. You can spin the hard-drive platter (by hand), move sliders, and click buttons while you fidget with your cup of coffee.
So much outdated tech fills landfills, so it’s nice to see that it can be reused in a novel way to create something that is still useful.
