I love this creative colorful table and chair set by Kamiya Design. When all its pieces are laid out side by side, it literally spells out "Table." Deconstructed, the a, b, and le form chairs that surround the T, which is the actual table.

Hundreds of billions in crime money knowingly laundered by banks during credit crunch
The Observer reports that an estimated $352bn of drug and mafia money was laundered by the major banks at the peak of the credit crunch, while regulators turned a blind eye, since the highly liquid criminal underworld was the only source of the cash necessary to keep the banks' doors open. As Charli... More.

We love it too, Not sure it would fit our style but it is absolutely a conversation piece
That brings back memories. Back in the days, a Dutch broadcasting station called TROS used to give away 'signature' radio's at gameshows. Very cool then, wanted collectors itmes now. http://verkopen.marktplaats.nl/photopopup/281423844
Watching too much "Word World" perhaps?

The only problem is that when it's set up it spells aTdel.
What else could you spell with this set?
a belT
le Tab
leT a b
I'm not that good at these things.
Were one so goth as to shit bats, he or she could paint the set black and spell out "le baT."
Other than that, this is completely useless. Oh, and ugly to boot. Really, really ugly.
How did they get that backwards "d"?
I'm bothered by the poor kerning in that top photo. The a really oughta be skootched over closer to the T, especially considering the tightness of the le pair.
Uh, industrial design fail, anyone? How do I seat three chairs at that T? Where do I put 3 plates?
You left out "bleat."
I'm French. Can I buy just the "le"?
"It's time to build a word. Let's build it! Let's build it now!"
What a gimmicky, uncomfortable inconvenient and ugly set of furniture design. They seem like a relatively established design firm too. Certainly better than this, which is a cut above ID student work. That or it's intentionally daft.
Sorry about the design snob in me talking out loud.
Looks like a prop from the old Electric Company. I like!
It has a comfortable look, too.
