Just Plain Cool, Part III

The third and final post of today's series comes from an Oh Gizmo! post picked up once again by a post on Geekologie.

So, I mentioned in the previous post that you could buy "ABC3D" as a coffee table book. No coffee table, you say? Well, I've got a solution for that as well.

Meet the Musical Rumba Series coffee and side tables. This table, offered in four different sizes, is both a piece of furniture and a musical instrument. The table consists of a basic square or rectangular wooden frame with a variety of square instrumental "modules" that go into the frame in any assortment and pattern.

Now, the cost of chic design is not insignificant, and the smallest of the four tables (2' x 2') will set you back $800; the largest table (4' x 4') is a whopping $2900. But, take any designer piece of furniture, then add in that it's handmade to your specifications (it can be made any height), and then add in a full drum set, and it sounds like a pretty good deal to me. Granted, I'm not going to be buying one; my money's going to tuition and rent. But maybe someday I'll have the table for those books that are a little bit more in my price range at the moment.

Here's a video that details all of the modules that can be placed in the table:



Here's another video of a table being played:



And finally, here's a video about the company itself:
