Having worked with top architects and fashion designers such as Ron Arad, Zaha Hadid and Hussein Chalayan and produced stage-wear for the likes of Bono, Rhianna and (ahem) Mika, German-born, London-based Moritz Waldemeyer is simply one of the most groundbreaking designers of his kind. Fusing his background in engineering with thoughtful, innovative design, his work with LEDs and lasers see him as the first port of call for designers and artists looking for concepts with a digital twist. When Wallpaper* approached him to design an object with the brief ‘Home Disco’, he responded with typical flair, producing this magical, awe-inspiring electro coffee-table. Sleek, retro coffee-table by day, the unit, which accommodates speakers, an iPod dock and…. wait for it…. a ‘Haze Machine’, fires into life when the lights go down, beaming out Waldemeyer’s trademark lasers to form a wonderfully futuristic dancing cage…… if this is the future, we’re sure glad we’re living it!
