THE SPEAKER TABLE

Imagine this. You’re at home with the TV on, watching an intense movie. You’ve got a tub of popcorn resting on the table beside you. That table also happens to be a 360° speaker, giving you hi-def rich sound while also doubling up as a wonderfully charming piece of furniture!

The Mellow table is what you get when Salone Del Mobile meets the Consumer Electronics Show. It presents a new age for decor that becomes multi-purpose by integrating themselves with technology. A trend even Bang and Olufsen is beginning to catch on to, with their highly decorative wall-hanging speakers, and Norton, with its beautiful Wi-Fi router that looks like it was blessed by Swarovski. The Mellow is a multimedia table. Its elegant wood+fabric construction makes it fit classically into any home without standing out too much. The thing that does make it stand out though, is that under the table’s surface lie four 15W speakers as well as 4 passive radiators, churning out sound capable of transforming your house into a cinema, or making it the perfect venue for everything from easy-listening to a rocking house party! Working wirelessly with any multimedia device, and a number of third-party music platforms, the Mellow table can be kept anywhere in your room without worrying about cables near your tables. It does however come with an auxiliary input for non-wireless devices. The Mellow comes with embroidered controls on its fabric facade, allowing you to increase/decrease the volume or pause and play tracks. The Mellow also boasts of a 6600mAh battery on the inside, capable of not just giving you 7 hours of playback, but also useful for charging your phones (via 2 USB ports on the side). Also a cleverly convenient way to keep your phone near the table for a much better wireless playback experience! Is your side-table this capable??
