The Design
About On the Table Funció Primària: Taula Arcade
Text del Llibre: Aquesta consola de videojocs d'estil arcade està dissenyada per jugar a videojocs clàssics dels anys 80 i 90 i està pensada per a adults que van créixer amb aquests jocs. Mentre que una consola de jocs convencional pot no encaixar amb un interior refinat, aquest disseny ofereix una alternativa multifuncional. Quan no s'utilitza per jugar, la consola es transforma en una elegant taula de cafè moderna, permetent-li integrar-se perfectament en els espais de vida contemporanis.
