Designed by Oxfordshire based designer Jay Watson, the ‘Linger A Little Longer’ table is a deceptively understated design with a cheeky and dynamic twist.

Coated in a thermochromatic finish, the table and benches respond to the heat of any warm crockery or body part (YEEPS!) placed on it. The result is an ephemeral ‘watermark’ which exposes the natural wood surface normally veiled by the black coating.

This brilliantly fun table is actually available for purchase. Of course you may want to offer seat cushions to those who prefer their nether regions remain un-thermographically mapped (not matter how fleeting the impressions may be).

* Reminder: two more days to enter to win the beautiful Mikaduki Crescent Brass Bottle Opener!
