London based Industrial design studio ico created this table that helps office workers keep an eye on the length of their meetings. A twist of a dial sets the length of the meeting at the start and then ten illuminated panels appear on the surface of the table, each panel representing a tenth of the meeting time. As the time passes, panels are switched off and a sound is played. When the time for the meeting has elapsed a voice says:
“This meeting is now complete, please leave the room in an orderly fashion”
