The Design
About On the Table Meja Arked
Konsol permainan video bergaya arked ini direka untuk memainkan permainan video klasik dari tahun 1980-an dan 1990-an dan ditujukan untuk golongan dewasa yang membesar dengan permainan tersebut. Walaupun konsol permainan konvensional mungkin tidak selari dengan hiasan dalaman yang bergaya, reka bentuk ini menawarkan alternatif pelbagai fungsi. Apabila tidak digunakan untuk bermain permainan, konsol ini bertukar menjadi meja kopi moden yang bergaya, membolehkannya menyatu dengan lancar ke dalam ruang kediaman kontemporari.

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