Designer Jay Watson calls this deceptively simple table and bench set “Linger a Little Longer”. The thermochromic finish of the table and benches responds to the heat of the body parts or dishes placed on it, leaving a “watermark” on the particular point of contact, a fleeting echo of the enjoyment of food and company, of the evanescent pleasures of life.
Watson used a technology, sometimes called hypercolor, that has been around for decades, and updated it by using it, not in tacky t-shirts, but in quietly elegant pieces of furniture…with a secret.
