Kyle Buckner's Swipe-able iTable

By Rain Noe - June 7, 2011

It's easy to be skeptical when you hear someone's made a piece of furniture called the iTable, based on the iPhone. But at least stick around until 0:20 of this video to check it out:

Designed and produced by Kyle Buckner Designs, the iTable features an integrated subwoofer in the base and of course, those pop-up speakers that appear and disappear with a swipe when you want a plain ol' coffee table.

Kyle, if you're reading this—get these into an Apple Store! Sneak in at night and install it yourself if you have to. If you convince them to carry it and sell even one per Apple Store in the U.S., you're basically set for retirement.

So... You can't sit at it. It doesn't match anything in anyone's house, and it takes up a good two cubic meters of space to do the same thing my alarm clock does.

Oy, bad design, me thinks.

iPhone = minimalist; iTable does not. Should be called iTank.

This is a joke, right? I love how they include 'industrial design' as one of the features :P Too bad it looks more engineered than designed though.

Is it just me, or is this table really ugly? Oh wait, it looks like an iPhone, so I must be wrong.

Wow, it even charges the phone? A bit OTT considering you cannot sit at this table.

Two cups one iPhone.

Maybe now the enlargement of objects should be considered in the TRIZ inventive principles. This is big ass docking station.
