About On the Table Primary Function: Arcade-Dësch
Book Text: Dës Videospillkonsole am Arcade-Stil ass entwéckelt fir klassesch Videospiller aus den 1980er an 1990er Jore ze spillen a riicht sech un Erwuessener, déi mat dëse Spiller opgewuess sinn. Wärend eng konventionell Spillkonsole vläicht net zu engem raffinéierten Interieur passt, bitt dëst Design eng multifunktionell Alternativ. Wann se net fir d'Spillen benotzt gëtt, verwandelt sech d'Konsole an e stylesche modernen Kaffisdësch, wat et erméiglecht, sech nahtlos an zäitgenëssesch Wunnraim anzefügen.

This is not just a game console, but it transforms to a stylish modern coffee table when it is not played.
