Touch responsive LED tables and benches by NunoErin

This touch-sensitive live of tables and benches from NunoErin could be so much fun. A game of minefield is at the ready at anytime – at any scale. They worked beautifully, felt good, and just were fun. It made me think of instant fun with family and friends.
