The Design
About On the Table Meja Arcade
Konsol video game bergaya arcade ini dirancang untuk memainkan video game klasik dari era 1980-an dan 1990-an dan ditujukan bagi orang dewasa yang tumbuh besar dengan permainan tersebut. Meskipun konsol game konvensional mungkin tidak melengkapi interior yang elegan, desain ini menawarkan alternatif multifungsi. Saat tidak digunakan untuk bermain game, konsol ini berubah menjadi meja kopi modern yang stylish, sehingga memungkinkannya untuk menyatu secara mulus ke dalam ruang hunian kontemporer.
