Timid Furniture?
Following on from the new technology theme, I just came across this which I think is lovely.
A concept by lTP graduate Adam Lassy, he utilises Ikea furniture with robotics to create furniture with awareness.
From his site: “A conceptual study of dynamic and responsive environments, using Ikea as the structural platform. I have modified an Ikea Lack table and an Urban chair to create mobile, wireless robots that can dynamically reconfigure interior space in response to people”.

Or my girlfriends dream, objects that tidy themselves away…
