Electric Wood. That's Right, Wood

TransAlpin is a design company whose poject wood.e has been chosen as TransMaterial's "product of the week."

Why? It takes regular wood and gives it an electrical current of 12V. Well, the wood is technically not electrified and remains safe to sit, eat or dance on. But engrained in the wood are small metal sheets with safe openings at strategically placed spots in your furniture. This makes for some really cool designs. Lighting and sound can seamlessly blend into the furniture itself. Who wants a lava lamp, when you can have a lava desk.
