TreeTell-The Organic Media Center

We’re approaching 2001: A Space Odessy territory here. The ultra-trippy design of TreeTell combines the warm, organic look of a tree with the high-tech gear stashed in the hole–a message center with audio and video plus Internet access. It’s the sort of thing future scientists might install in long-haul spacecraft to keep people feeling connected to nature…or a product coming soon to a living room near you. We’re hoping this sort of thing catches on, but perhaps with some additional seating for those of us who like lumbar support. [YankoDesign]
