The colour of the stools then change to match the colour of whatever has been placed on the sensitive table-top.Could be lots of fun at office parties...:chin:

Sensors in the stools also work out the weight of anyone sat on them - heavier people are treated to darker shades.Now that's just mean.

What happens if you fart on them?

The designers say that instead of furniture being inert and silent, it should be given a chance to interact with the people that use it.

Fuck that noise! I want my furniture to shut up when I'm trying to watch the telly.

Talking furniture should be a good way to freak people out of their use of drugs.

I want my chairs to give a massage when requested only. No talking. Especially no back-talk.
