I have been thinking of using these mechanims in everyday domestic objects and using them in a way that adds emotion/character to an object but is also practical. I came up with this idea using a cam mechanism on a table to move some perspex/glass boxes that are pushed up from the table which primarily lie flush with the surface and come out so that they can hold something and serve as a storage device as you can see in the pictures, one of them holds a vase of flowers, but also the other one holds candles which would have a great effect as the light would be coming up from inside the table.
