Look out mac users, the custom i Table has arrived!

Introducing Kyle Buckner - one of the youngest CustomMade makers, this designer/furnituremaker/sound engineer extraordinaire is somewhat of a Renaissance man…

Just this past September, the 23-year-old Virginia Commonwealth University student posted a lounge chair he made for a intro woodworking class online and within days it was featured on top design blogs and luxury furniture sites around the world. Now, Kyle’s being featured on macdaddynews.com for his latest contribution to the custom furniture world: a custom coffee table named the i Table, designed to look like a stack of iPhone 4s, custom iPhone dock included!

Here’s what the artist has to say about his latest invention:

The iPhone is huge, as we all know. Tons of companies bring portable docking stations to the market for consumers, but what about one in your coffee table? I got a vision for this table, and I thought – why not? Let’s make it motorized as well, to allow the customer to use the table as… well a table, then when he or she wants music, all you have to do is swipe your hands across the touch sensitive controls and the high quality sound rises from what looked like was a design in the table.

Swipe again, your music stops, and the motorized sound-bar , equipped with 8 high-end transducer speakers, glides right back down as if there was nothing even there. Topping it all off, there is a 6″ down-firing subwoofer to complete the crystal clear sound.

This coffee table, has two aluminum trimmed cup-holders, that will light your drinks up with the touch of a button. On the front, there is 4 controls. LED on/off, Volume up & Down, and the motorization control. Each button was laser engraved, then hand-cut to fit on the control pad. Simply touch the metal buttons to activate each identified switch. touch both volume up & down at the same time, and you will mute the song playing on your iPhone 4, that was charging ever since you docked the device into the table.

The design of this table is pretty contemporary. With 96 stainless steel hex-head bolts holding on the the wrap-around rails, all spaced with custom milled 1/4″ spacers. The top is a flat black surface, that has a finish that is almost scratch-proof.

The hype is created because the table partners with a very popular device, the iPhone. But let’s not limit it to just connecting to your iPhone, as my future pieces will allow any Bluetooth device to connect with it… iPad, droids, you name it. This is the debut of this category produced by Kyle Buckner Designs. INC., but stay tuned for an entire line of the interactive furniture. “Connect With Your Furniture.” This is only the beginning!
