There is an interesting art project on Kickstarter that merges a small Zen garden with a coffee table. The table is a soothing machine to watch, it draws circular patterns on sand, which is enclosed by a glass surface. The project has gained $1.9 million so far and had a lot of backers. I think this would be a great addition to a coffee shop. It could add a lot to the tranquil atmosphere and provide some entertainment for the customers as they are sipping their coffees. It could also attract customers out of interest into the shops. Of course, because it is magnetic, I am not sure if it would be wise to place a cell phone or wallet on this kind of table.
