More quirky design from Ontwerpduo. This wood dining table is designed for fun...
It has a track built into the top and legs that allows marbles to roll all over the table. Designed by Tineke Beunders of Ontwerpduo, the table is a link, for her, between adulthood's furniture and childhood's toys:
"The world of adults' furniture and the world children's toys don't seem to belong together.
From my childhood I remember it was always exiting to combine these two. I used the woodcarvings of furniture as a playfield for my puppets, to play in a new world. With this feeling in mind we created a concept for a new piece of furniture."
Be sure to catch the table in action, as seen in this video. Images: Lisa Klappe

most fun table ever!!!
The model's pose is an interesting choice.
Would not want to have to dust this thing.
Here's hoping that whoever owns this table has their chiropractor on speed-dial.
lawsuit-waiting-to-happen table....better not have people over
My son would love it, but at the same time it's already hard enough to get him to stay in his chair during dinner!

That's a choking hazard for kids, pets, and drunken/confused adults. And what's with the model's pose?
