Text Messaging-Enabled Crystal Chandelier Shown In Milan

Posted by simoniker on from the hit-at-all-the-dinner-parties dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Austrian crystal manufacturer Swarovski showed a chandelier capable of displaying text messages via SMS at last week's Milan furniture fair. The Ron Arad-designed piece was at the center of the attention during the opening show, with hundreds of partygoers sending uncensored messages to the chandelier. More info can be found at the official Swarovski site, and photos of the construction are available at the manufacturer's website."

    Can you imagine the result if one of the growing number of text messaging spammers got ahold of the number for your chandelier?

    You would be sitting at dinner with the lights beeping every 20 seconds and messages showing up saying
    Natural herb increases size by 50-100%
    Drunk high school girls waiting for you at badpornsite.com

    I'm thinking I'll take a pass on the text messaging enabled chandelier.
