Sure this is cool, but what’s the point?

you’re seriously asking that question on a design blog?

the question is.. does the wax slowly melt back into a flat surface somehow or is the ending of that video just a teasing edit? that’d be one awesome design, otherwise i’d have to agree with zach by saying melting wax is moving the title of design to art.
..but i’m gonna assume the cords comming out the bottom means the wax slowly melts back into place. two birds, one awesome.

I’ve got another idea for these guys – a table with springs for legs… when you’ve finished loading it up, it’ll be resting on the floor! and if you load it unevenly everything falls off! how cool is that?
