The kitchen table has been the place where many new inventions and ideas have been sketched out, but rarely has it been the source of innovation itself.
With an orange-striped surface on its steel frame, a new table from London-based designers Caventou appears to be an ultra-modern piece of furniture for an arty homeowner. A closer look reveals a port on the side where phones can be recharged using power gleaned from solar cells that cover the surface.
