The Design
About On the Table Spilakassaborð
Þessi tölvuleikjakassi í spilakassastíl er hannaður til að spila klassíska tölvuleiki frá níunda og tíunda áratugnum og er ætlaður fullorðnum sem ólust upp við þessa leiki. Þótt hefðbundinn leikjakassi passi ef til vill ekki inn í fágaða innréttingu, býður þessi hönnun upp á fjölnota valkost. Þegar hann er ekki í notkun til leikja, breytist kassinn í stílhreint nútímalegt sófaborð sem gerir honum kleift að falla óaðfinnanlega inn í nútímaleg heimili.

- This is an arcade-styled video game console to play vintage video games from the 80's and 90's, and it is dedicated to adults who grew up with those video games in their childhood. However, having a normal vintage video game console could ruin the ambience of your sophisticated living room. Here is a solution. This is not just a game console, but it transforms to a stylish modern coffee table when it is not played.
