The Lotus Furniture Set is an innovative dining table that draws inspiration from nature.
The interactive piece of furniture ‘blooms’ when guests arrive and it is time to be used. A light is built in to the top of the table, and through the use of magnet switches, when the chairs are pulled out to be used the Lotus Furniture Set illuminates itself according to how many people are seated at the table.
If only one person is dining, the Lotus Furniture Set is quite dim and dark, but when the table is full of diners, it shines bright.
