Quite often we see new tables coming in unique shapes or featuring distinctive functions, but we seldom imagine a table would have the ability to walk, just as we humans do! A walking table does seem amazing. It mimics an innate walking motion when pushed because it is built with mechanical linkages.

Coffee Joulies

20110406501

Although most people know coffee will be more drinkable if it is made with a certain temperature, they seldom find a way to make that happen. But fortunately the Coffee Joulies would help us. Special non-toxic material sealed within the polished stainless steel shell can absorb energy as it melts at 140 degrees Fahrenheit and thus to make coffee cool down.
