The Jay Watson 'Linger a Little Longer' set consists of a table and a bench that uses heat to make home decor fun and entertaining. This incredible furniture uses a thermo-chromatic finish that changes color whenever a hot object touches its surface.
The UK-based designer Jay Watson's table and bench both pass from black to white to create a fun effect that resembles a watermark. Made of black on solid chestnut timber, this set returns to normal once the temperature lowers. From hot mugs to plates to sweaty hands and warm butts, everything will become visible on this furniture. Watson funnily declares on his website: "Remember when you were scolded for not using a coaster? Worry no more...A deceptively understated design with a dynamic twist."
