FDDS was founded in 2006 by French designer Florian Dussopt as his own studio in parallel of his other project, Anna Gram’.

He takes inspiration from Physics such as optic, sound and energies to create experiences and meaningful story telling projects.

Based in London, his experience covers a diverse range of practices including product design, installations, digital, prospective researches and curation for many prestigious clients like Bombay Sapphire, Virgin Atlantic, BBC, Roca, Samsung, Clerkenwell Design Week.

London-based Florian Dussopt design studio has created an ElectroMagnetic table able to produce a localized electromagnetic field when switched on. This field lights up fluorescent tubes within a short range without any physical contact.

The EM table allows the user to interact with an energy that is otherwise invisible. An electronic circuit is embedded in the table and turns a low current into an electromagnetic field, acting directly on the gas within the fluorescent tube. It is advised that electronic devices should be kept away when the table is switched on.

　将一个荧光灯泡靠近这张桌子，灯泡的灯丝就会突然闪烁。这看起来很像魔术，但它却是简单的科学：一个嵌入式电路产生的电磁场能够作用于灯泡内的水银气体，使它发光，就好像灯泡是接入插座正常发光一样。　　这张桌子由法国产品设计师 Florian Dussopt 设计，他对灯泡内部发生的情况作出了解释：“当受到一个电气电压作用时荧光灯管就会发光，灯管内部产生的电场会激发汞原子气体，使它们发射出紫外线。这种不可见光照射在玻璃管的荧光粉涂层，从而使它发光。”　　换句话说，这张桌子利用了无线能量的功率。这一举措即是对那些大规模利用这一原理应用的映射，例如尼古拉·特斯拉（Nikola Tesla），他的特斯拉塔企图跨越遥远的距离传输电能。事实上，这张桌子的底部看起来和特斯拉的1900塔结构框架非常相似，不免让人联想到这是对特斯拉的一种致敬。　　当然，特斯拉的这个梦想从未实现，一个多世纪过去了，即使对于现在的我们而言，要使不接通任何电线的灯泡发光的景象依旧是难以令人置信的。虽然目前尚不知晓 Dussopt 对这种桌子的下一步计划如何，但对于喜欢探究电子设备的用户，不妨自己也动手试试体验这种无线的能量。

Lo normal para encender cualquier bombilla es conectarla en su casquillo y dar al interruptor para que pase la corriente eléctrica. Sin embargo, el diseñador francés Florian Dussopt ha creado EM Table.
Se trata de una mesa que es capaz de interactuar con bombillas del tipo fluorescente (por ejemplo, las de ahorro) y puede encenderlas con tan sólo acercarlas a la mesa gracias, como dice su nombre, a una fuente de energía electromagnética.
