On display at the Siggraph show (Japan), the Fuwapica furniture uses sensors embedded in the table-top to work out the colour of items placed upon it.
The colours of the stools then change to match the colour of whatever has been placed on the sensitive table-top.
The stools' sensors work out the weight of anyone sitting on them - heavier people are treated to darker shades.
So how happy would you be about sitting on furniture that tells you how heavy you are?
Now I like the idea of something that is interactive like this, but life's hard enough with out the stools mocking you about how chubby you are... What colour does it turn then if you weight allot, different shades of black? Plus surely people will pick up on this and soon learn the colours to look out for, not good in my mind.

I want one with a remote digital readout that sits on the table in front of you. A constant update of your weight, you can watch it increase as you drink.
Now that is a good idea, with updates from when you have got back from the toilet.
This is a new wave of industrial design. I wonder how Martha Stewart would feel.
Nice coming across your digs! I'm a standup comedienne in NYC. Feel free to stop by and critique my colo(u)r scheme!
