Tapla is put to use the moment friends
and/or family members take their seats and
put their plates on the table – the number of
plates equals the number of players. Games
are downloaded from the Internet, and certain
games can be chosen that are more ad-hoc to
certain situations. The table promotes social
fun because the games available are mostly
based con cooperation and teamwork – no
team can win without the help of all its members.

Tapla is a concept made to enhance
the social experience. It consists of a table
equipped with a touch-screen top made of
Gorilla Glass. The table can be adapted to different kitchens by modifying its size and position.
Gorilla Glass is a transparent, synthetic
material that was launched by Corning Inc. in
2008. It consists of a thin but highly resistant
sheet that serves as a cover to protect the
table from fractures and potential scratches.
This material is the same used on about 20%
of mobile phones.
This fun concept is like a new and improved board game; with special features such
as being connected to social networks, where
results can be posted and shared amongst
family members. People can remain there for
hours, be it after a meal or during a reunion of
friends.
