No Room For Dishes? Get a Table with the Dishes Built In!

Unified Table
There's design creativity that makes sense and needs to be mass marketed, designs that are almost there but need some tweaking, and then designs that are just plain silly.

MocoLocco
has shared about the above design, Min Hoo Park's Unified Dining Table from IMM Cologne 2009. As you can see, the plates, glasses, and even vase and candleholder are a part of the lacquered table. You dine by candlelight, apparently drinking your wine and other beverages through straws, and then flip it over for a regular table top when you're done.

As it is there, it's quite silly, but maybe this designer is onto something. Get a click-in cup, so you can drink, and turn the inside into a dishwasher! Eat at your placesetting, flip it over to enjoy your table, and when it's time to eat again, your place setting is all clean.

Of course, you can't have a bunch of guests over unless you get them your own tables, but at least some loners could revel in the design.
