Bullet Proof Table
What it Is:
Serena Tieland: Truly useful product - experience economy
This is an indestructible table, that can resist anything. A very nice must-have piece of furniture because you do not have to be afraid that someone or something ruins your table. Very useful and enriching. You can even shoot this table with a gun, and still put your glass on it! These luxury products represent more than the basic needs in life, which are surely a thing of the last century. People are making more money, less people live in poor circumstances and people are finding it more and more interesting to get so-called ‘gadgets’ in their livingroom.
Why it's cool:
Science of the Time: Indestructibly cool and functional! You’ve got a product here that is stylistically macho and functional at the same time. A few bullet holes are the perfect aesthetic element for today’s manly men who can’t find themselves in the concept of the metro sexual.

What even makes it cooler is that the designer, Aviad Gil, is from Isreal. The table is shot at by an ak-47 during production. This combination of a house friendly peace of furniture and the violent reality in Isreal makes it so much more then just an ‘indestructible table’.
Aviad Gil calls it ‘psychic warfare’.
