Now there are tables to compliment your iPod. The Concerto Table can fill your room with music by two surface mounted speakers. You can control the music for each course using the ipod, mounted in the table top or use the remote control. They even provide a complied playlist of music tailored to a great dining experience. The Concerto Table also doubles as a home office.
From Concerto Table's Website:
The Concerto Table is designed by Nicholas Lovegrove & Demian Repucci. As well as design our conversations often flow around our shared passion for food and dining. We thought about creating the perfect furniture to compliment the perfect evening.
The inspiration came from enjoying the dramatic presence that a piano offers an interior. The organic, iconic form is a compliment to any interior.
We have also looked into the role that furniture can play in adding to the experience itself, rather than simply a horizontal flat landscape onto which a dinner party is grafted.
