I'm about to move home, and this sideboard by designer Sotirios Papadopoulos is going right on my dream-about-it furniture list. "A sideboard?" you say. Well, it's simple and beautiful, in a very sciencey kind of way. The detailed luna surface is painted with a glowing paint Sotirios invented, called EcoLightInside since it's apparently eco-friendly. Why's it a dream-only item? It's a limited edition of just 24, and while the price is unknown I suspect it'll be astronomical. Shame: I'd already pictured myself dotting it with markers detailing the Apollo missions. [InventorSpot]

Gorgeous and way cool but serving meatloaf from the lunar surface seems wasteful somehow.
That's really beautiful. It's a shame they're doing such a limited run.
I wonder how the paint works? If it's just a sort of "glow in the dark" paint, or something else.
Moonloaf!
That's no sideboard!
I have some glow in the dark paint... any amazing artist want to come by my place and pretty up my bookshelf or dresser in just such a way?
Looks like a job for screen printing. I did custom screens back in college and this wouldn't be a big deal to do.
@Curves: I can think of very few pieces of furniture that cannot be classed up a bit with a nice ol' slab of meatloaf resting merrily atop it.
This is a stunning piece though, and the luminescent paint is what helps make it so. I would certainly purchase it if was available to us of the lower class.
Just as well there are only 24...even if I actually bought one, it would just end up buried underneath books and magazines and unfolded laundry.
