Cable Table reDesign.018


For this final collaboration, I really wanted to tap into the resource of my chiari friends online. Everyone has different, varying symptoms, but we could all use something that makes our lives a little more streamlined. One of my friends had all her outlets raised to the middle of the wall because bending over was tough and exhausting (I feel the same way, it's a weird symptom. Leaning over can sometimes make me feel like suddenly I'm 100 years old or have been up for 50 hours.) Another person experiencing the same kind of symptom recommended a recessed pen holder so that it wouldn't be able to tip over and make you have to pick things up off the ground. Everyone wanted more storage, which makes plenty of sense. It's much easier to have everything at hand than to have to constantly get up and move around or search for things.

However, since we all have different situations, I think it'd be great if there was a custom table optino for cable tables. The mark up wouldn't be insane, just about like what blurb.com does for books. Most of the cost would be controlled by the options you choose for the table. This can be things like a lighttable section, a custom number of power outlets, whatever drawer layout you want, extra accessories like a light or hot plate or fan built in. It's about conforming to what the consumer needs, so that cable table can ultimately make their customer more efficient and comfortable.
