Designerd by Marjan van Aubel, the Current table is a piece of furniture that also functions as a source of energy.

The Current table by Marjan van Aubel gathers and harvests energy from daylight to charge appliances.

The table’s glass surface contains a Dye Sensitised Solar Cell that, based on photosynthesis, uses the properties of color to create an electrical current. Unlike classic solar cells, these colored cells don't need direct sunlight and are able to function under diffused light.

Developed in collaboration with Solaronix, the Current Table is the first piece of furniture to harvest energy indoors.
