Entertaible

The Entertaible is being developed by Philips as a social gaming device, meant to be installed in restaurants and bars to get patrons together, but it is being considered for making the transition to the home market as an alternative to non-digital gaming tables. The table has a 32-inch horizontal touch-sensitive LDC screen at its center, which can detect up to 45 separate objects, whether fingers or game pieces, on its interface. It can be used for video games and as a board game base with physical pieces, which makes playing Sorry! seem a little more exciting.

Leave it to Philippe Starck to turn something as simple as plastic dinnerware into a chance for design. His Lux Collection brings the fancy to your more casual summer gatherings (or those large parties where things need to be kept light and easy to clean). The collection includes gold or silver plastic cutlery as well as plates that have a little projection that you can mount a Lux Collection glass, cup, bowl. Perfect for garden parties where you are often left standing with a glass in one hand, a plate in the other and no way to partake of either. The nine-inch plates come in gold, silver, bronze and terracotta and sell for $20 for a package of six.

LuxList: Best Summer Entertaining Accessories

Filed under: Dining

One of the best things about summer is the chance to spend some time outside enjoying the sun on hot days and the warm, fragrant air at night. There is no better way to enjoy that than with a big, cold drink, but it certainly doesn't hurt if you have a few friends over and fire up the grill, as well. Here, we're rounding up some of the best summer entertaining accessories, from barware to real umbrellas. We're going beyond the standard table and chairs because, let's face it, you're not going to get very far without those. It's the extras that give a party a little something special.

Avoid unpleasant smoke and ashes floating out over your guests with this Gas Firepit (above) from Smith and Hawkin. There is minimal set up and little maintenance to be done to keep it in top shape and it is lightweight enough - made of crushed stone and fiberglass, not concrete - that it can be moved whenever needed. $699.
