The Design
About On the Table Primærfunksjon: Arkadebord
Boktekst: Denne arkadespillkonsollen er designet for å spille klassiske videospill fra 1980- og 1990-tallet, og er beregnet på voksne som vokste opp med disse spillene. Mens en tradisjonell spillkonsoll kanskje ikke passer inn i et forfinet interiør, tilbyr dette designet et multifunksjonelt alternativ. Når den ikke brukes til spilling, forvandles konsollen til et stilfullt moderne salongbord, slik at den glir sømløst inn i moderne bomiljøer.

- 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.
