“The design of a piece of furniture can only be definite. It lacks fixed references – of scale, of ambient and of need. The human body has evolved so little than Egyptian chairs are still perfectly usable today. If we strip objects of their covering, we are left with the history of half a dozen forms. The imagination flies at low altitude among such forms, except when it is that of an impatient beginner.”

The rapid technological development of a product should allow the body to follow the soul; in other words, the physical support of the technology (the exterior body) should combine with the technology itself. Evolution should not be just a matter of form and not just a technology issue. This was how Iduna understood the challenge set by Edigma to collaborate in the development of a new multi-touch table.

It is an innovated product on the market by providing technological opportunities and distinctive design.
We talk of a difference as a linear interpretation of the technological needs associated with human needs and expectations. In this case it could not be closer the relationship of figure with function. As in nature there is no waste; morphology serves the technology and Man.
