La Cordoba…the name is reminiscent of Spain, isn’t it? Or at least something warm and Mediterranean. The tables in the La Cordoba furniture set don’t evoke any Spanish images - you won’t be seeing any bullfights there, maybe the closest thing you’ll see to anything bovine there is if you’re served a hearty dish of beef tapas. In fact, the way the base of the tables hook out remind me of the grappling devices that ninjas in Japan are said to use.

Four rectangular table top sizes are available for the La Cordoba 2 model: 100 x 60 centimeters, 110 x 70 centimeters, 120 x 80 centimeters, and 1208 x 80 centimeters. For the Cordoba 3 model, which measures 70 centimeters high, a round table top measuring 70 centimeters in diameter is standard.

The pace and rate at which technology progresses nowadays is simply amazing, with a wide range of products being developed both for personal and commercial use. One such technology is the DeLighTable coffee table, from London, UK-based Kloss-Interactors.

Thus, a beverage-filled glass sitting on it takes on certain hues; users create messages and other visual effects by “writing” on it with their fingers. It’s just sheer fun. And there’s no need to worry about glass stains or liquid stains because the surface is completely waterproof.
