RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The intuition was born by inserting in an office table an rgb strip light, commonly used for decorative purposes, by observing how the frequency with which the light changes color affects the user's heartbeat, just as does the sound. Anyway it was simply interesting to see how a table and its light it can redesign a space and revitalize a workplace, even the most challenging.
