Building a binary bench

binary table.jpgA strange sort of beauty, or just downright ugly? What do you think? A divertissement for a Friday afternoon - it made me smile

It's the binary low table, from BRC Designs, making the most of recycling old computer components. A table version, almost, of the chip art we featured before.

The company writes:
Inspired by pallets of obsolete computers and electronics that were collecting dust in a local warehouse. The table structure is made from the metal from computer towers that are riveted together and bent to the proper form. The surface is completely covered with a collage of motherboards, computer chips, led screens and hard drive disks held in place by sheet metal screws. The glass from the table was salvaged from an abandoned warehouse.
Apparently, you can spin the hard-drive platter by hand, for added amusement, as well as fiddling with buttons and switches on the old kit.

Watch out, though. You could bark your knee in a nasty fashion on one of those circuit boards...
