tablecloth

This may have debuted two years ago, but it's new to me and too good to leave out.

Go ahead, act carelessly with your stemware, let your babies drink grape juice out of the "big kids" glass, be a klutz for the sake of art! This ingenious tablecloth, shown at the St. Etienne Design Biennial 2006, starts out looking like any generic white table cloth, but then develops a floral pattern when your drink tips. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade! (or red wine, in this case)
Kudos to Madeleine Montaigne. If I cry over spilled milk, they will be tears of joy.
