The table with a porcelain-enameled steel tabletop provides a magnetic, erasable writing surface directly on the tabletop. The tabletop is defined by opposed upper and lower surfaces and a peripheral side edge, and is formed from porcelain-enameled steel. The porcelain-enameled steel may include a steel layer, having opposed upper and lower surfaces, and a porcelain layer enameled on the upper surface of the steel layer. The porcelain layer defines the upper surface of the tabletop, providing the magnetic, erasable writing surface. At least one leg is secured to the lower surface of the tabletop and extends downwardly therefrom. A protective strip may be secured to, and cover, the peripheral side edge of the tabletop. The protective strip may further be secured to, and cover, a portion of the upper surface of the tabletop and a portion of the lower surface of the tabletop.

Disclosed is a desk system having a freestanding leg assembly, a frame being attachable to an upper portion of the freestanding leg assembly and an adjustable height desktop platform comprising a table top and a supporting leg assembly. The supporting leg assembly may extend between the frame and the table top and the supporting leg assembly may have a scissor lift for adjusting the height of the table top away from the freestanding leg assembly. Disclosed is a desk system having a telescoping leg assembly, configured to adjustable raise or lower a table top of the desk. Disclosed is a desk system with an interface to power the adjustable desk, wherein the interface is visible and operable through the table top.

The present invention relates to an advantageously interactive item of furniture and/or appliance comprising: at least one worktop formed from at least one substrate made of a monolithic glazing material and of area larger than 0.7 m.sup.2, said substrate having a lightness L* higher than 10, a light transmission T.sub.L lower than 50%, an opacity indicator higher than 90, and if needs be a haze higher than 15%; at least one heating element; at least one light source, in particular intended to light up one or more zones or one or more elements or displays of the substrate, in particular by projection, this source for example being located plumb with the substrate; and at least one interface for communicating with at least one element of the worktop such as the one or more light sources and/or the one or more heating elements and/or if needs be wirelessly with at least one external element.

In some examples, a system comprises a non-conductive layer; a conductive sheet positioned on an area of the non-conductive layer; a non-conductive surface in contact with the conductive sheet; a safety enclosure positioned on the non-conductive surface and configured to contain a high-voltage device; a ground connection coupling to the conductive sheet and extending through the non-conductive layer; and a coupling member to couple together the non-conductive layer, the conductive sheet, the non-conductive surface, and the safety enclosure.

An item of furniture or appliance includes at least one worktop formed from at least one substrate made of a transparent monolithic glazing material and of area larger than 0.7 m.sup.2, equipped with a coating so that the substrate equipped with the coating has a haze higher than 15%, a light transmission T.sub.L lower than 60% and an opacity indicator higher than 85. The item of furniture or appliance also includes at least one heating element, at least one light source to light up one or more zones or one or more elements or displays of the substrate, the source being located plumb with the substrate in order to form a display by projection, or under the substrate in order to form a display by transmission through the substrate, and at least one interface for communicating with at least one element of the worktop.

A gaming table includes graphene ink-enabled electronic features such as conductors, light or sound emitters, light detectors, touch or object detectors or displays. Conductive graphene ink may be printed on a gaming table fabric or felt which forms a playing surface of the gaming table. The graphene ink-enabled electronic features may be coupled to or controlled by one or more controllers and be integrated into associated gaming systems. The graphene ink-enabled features may replace large, expensive individual electronic components which must be assembled to implement functionality at a gaming table or other gaming device.

A method of forming a laminate countertop with a curved edge profile extending around at least two adjacent sides thereof includes providing a base support having a top surface, a bottom surface, latitudinal sides, and longitudinal sides. At least one of the longitudinal sides includes the curved edge profile. The method further includes: adhering a laminate sheet to the base support to form a laminate cover over at least a portion of the top surface and a portion of the curved edge profile of the base support and mounting a preformed edge member having a curved edge profile to one of the sides of the base support to form a laminate countertop having curved edges extending around at least two sides thereof. To align the edge member and the base support, the preformed edge member is mounted to a brace to remove bowing or curvature from the preformed edge member.

In some examples, a system comprises a non-conductive layer; a conductive sheet positioned on an area of the non-conductive layer; a non-conductive surface in contact with the conductive sheet; a safety enclosure positioned on the non-conductive surface and configured to contain a high-voltage device; a ground connection coupling to the conductive sheet and extending through the non-conductive layer; and a coupling member to couple together the non-conductive layer, the conductive sheet, the non -conductive surface, and the safety enclosure.

A computer desk construction consisting of a desk top made up of multiple joined pieces that create a single continuous textured surface for use of a computer mouse or similar technologies, as well as adjustable legs, supportive framework, and net for cable management. The desktop joins to a framework and legs for support and stability for a user in a seated or standing position. The sectioning of parts results in smaller, lighter sections than conventional computer desks, dramatically reducing shipping and handling costs. The desk can also be easily disassembled for shipment or storage. Further, the desk incorporates a single continuous textured surface which serves to smoothly conceal the seams and to provide a soft, supportive surface in which users can operate a computer mouse or similar technology. The desk includes a plurality of slits in the single continuous textured surface and a concealed net for efficient cable management.
