Classy coffee tables are classy, but also boring. What they need is exactly what this one has: a cleverly-disguised set of professional arcade cabinet components.
The Arcane table, from Surface Tensions, looks at first glance to be a glass-topped coffee table. But thereās a slide-out drawer in the side, which houses a very fetching controller setup (featuring Sanwa buttons) and even a trackball.
But where do you play? The thickened glass surface doubles as either a 19ā³ or 26ā³ LCD screen, on which you can play as many classic arcade games as the tableās internal PC can hold.
For all this, youāre looking at Ā£3300/USD$5000, so yeah, likely not for most of you. Still, itās OK to dream!
