Mousetrap Coffee Table
02/04/09 - Ridiculous
“The obviously concept-only table designed by Auger-loizeau and Alex Zivanovic uses a a motion detecting sensor which detects in the infrared range, with a mouse side opening in one of the legs which can be baited to invite your little Gerry to a permanent vacation. Any motion activates an iris which closes like those spaceship doorways from your favourite sci-fi flick, dropping the mouse into a microbial fuel cell housed under the table (which we assume means the poor little fella is going to be “consumed” by the table to produce energy for its next victim. It’s sort of like IKEA and a Venus Fly Trap got busy and knocked out one helluva a Little Shop of Horrors piece of furniture.” w/ photos
