A table made of vintage plates

I came across this table from Imu Design, a so-called prototype named 'Plate U'... and isn't it brilliant? I mean, I'm not sure how practical it is (imagine having an animated gossipy chat with your best friend while holding a glass in your hand and then you decide to put down your glass on the table while keeping your eyes on your friend, not looking where the actual holes in the table are... that sort of thing), but it's cool. The frame is made of steel, the plates are "hand-picked" as the designers describe it themselves and I assume they found them in charity shops or on the local flea market.
