table top!

I need a skin for my studio table!

A skin that will inspire me think design and if it cant inspire me it will atleast help me get out of the stress that the thinking process often leads me to. I want to design it and manufacture it! Thats my idea.

so now.......thats my design problem and I am going to design it and have it ready by wednesday. Yes 30th June.

so how big is my table.

Its 3' X 5'

and I am going to define it as I design it.

What do I want to do?

Make side walks more interesting!

How?

1. what could be the multiple uses of the sidewalk
2. can it be inexpensive
3. can the sidewalk be flexible
4. can it be an intelligent side walk
5. can it be a little more than a sidewalk?

Interesting examples, could be a sidewalk that generates energy or that becomes a dance floor.
But how?
