Danish Mac User Makes An Apple Table

by , 11:00 AM EDT, August 26th, 2004

For the Mac fan who thought he had everything, we bring you the Apple logo conference table (courtesy of Engadget). .Mac user cbayn has posted a slideshow of images of his Apple logo conference table, a table big enough to sit three, comfortably.

There's not much of a story accompanying the images, but it appears as if the Dane posting the images made the table for his (or her) own use. We thought it cool enough to show you, and so:


cbayn's Apple logo table

For those who noticed that the logo's stem was missing, it's shown in the slide show as holding the lighting above the table. You can see all six images at cbayn's .Mac Web page.

The Mac Observer Spin:

We're waiting anxiously for the "E" table shaped like Dell's logo, or maybe a chair emblazoned with the Windows logo.

We won't, however, hold our breath.

I saw this before it was posted here and I was drooling. I could never achieve anything like this. If cbayn went into business doing this, I'd purchase one in a second.

well, he can't sell it without permission/licensing from Apple, so that probably won't happen.

Guest, follow the link, and there's a picture of the leaf (the TMO article mentions the missing "stem", but really the author is talking about the stem).

Pretty cool stuff. Rather than a conference table, this may make a good personal desk. The "bite" in the Apple could provide a good place to sit, so the desk sort of wraps around you.

I'll have to see about getting on for my cube.

Heh, guess I should have looked up "taboret" before responding (it's a "low stool without a back or arms" for those also wondering).

A leaf stool would have been cool (though incompatible with my "bite" seating idea), but the lamp ain't bad either. Nice work!

jimothy: I did miss the mention of the "stem" lamp the first go around. After I posted, I noticed it and saw the pic of it. I still like my taboret idea better. Oh and I'm thinking of the graphic arts style taboret which is basically a small utility table with wheels on the bottom and drawers for storage. It would be a lot more work than the lamp but it would be worth it.

Well maybe Steve Jobs will go easy on him and let him sell the tables. After all Apple doesn't make tables. Or sign him up as a supplier!!!

Cool...that way, I can still sit in the bite.

I'm certain you might be able to get Dell logo furniture from an Enron liquidation sale.
