CHEF’S TABLE

The trend for high-tech restaurant dining is coming home, with this futuristic kitchen table. Made of a wafer-thin ceramic, the Sapienstone ‘Smart Slab’ heats food, cools drinks and can wirelessly charge compatible smartphones (iphones will need an adapter). Circular heating elements positioned under guests’ dinner plates keep them at precisely 42.5 degrees Celsius (as recommended by Italian three-star Michelin chef Massimo Bottura), while a central strip of cooling panels can chill wine. It even has a cooking panel for whipping up dishes at the table. Available December (sapienstone.com).
