delen memory table by david franklin

delen table

delen is a conceptual dining and work table with mounted table top camera. the camera is programmed and controlled wirelessly to take pictures at predetermined times or at specified intervals over a duration. the camera is positioned to solely record what is on the table top. the pictures are immediately sent back to the computer and can be programmed to upload automatically to the user’s desired social networking site.

the table has the feel of a contemporary piece, but the abundant use of solid oak gives it a warm, familiar quality, reinforced with the tapered, retro-looking legs. there’s a strange dichotomy between the camera technology, which could be adapted and upgraded over time, and the table itself, which has a physical robustness and visual simplicity to last a very long time.

the concept is explained through this simple animation.
