IRL Internet of the Day: Labeled the “anti-computer experience,” John Kestner’s Tableau aims to “[act] as a bridge between users of physical and digital media, taking the best parts of both.”

Essentially, Tableau is a nightstand made from “reclaimed materials and ‘obsolete’ electronics saved from the landfill” that uses Zink inkless paper and an Internet connection to both print pics it downloads from Twitter, and upload hand-written messages back. A glowing drawer knob alerts the user when an action has taken place.

Tableau is presently on display at the Saint Étienne International Design Biennale, and mass production is reportedly planned for next year.
