I love this table design that forces you to exercise and burn a few calories each time you want to use it, presumably to eat and take in more calories.
The Push Up Table by Chris Murphy is inspired by a press up machine. The table has two heights, requiring you to perform a press up on the table to raise and lower it.
The designer's site calls it the “Spider Tableâ€, but his Design Spotter profile calls it the “Push Up Tableâ€. I guess it is a spider-looking push up table.
The unique table is being shown in the Bucks New Uni exhibit between 6th - 12th June 2008, and at New Designers between 10th - 13th July 2008.
