Helsinki Cafe's Web-Controlled Furniture Is Genius

A design installation in Helsinki is offering free coffee, but customers have to deal with moving chairs, tables, and sudden loud noises, courtesy of Internet users across the world.

The installation, a cafe called Kauko at the Forum shopping mall in Helsinki, allows people to remotely control the cafe, and the resulting hijinks make great silent comedies. Watch a table steal a kid's toy, ruin a couple's romantic moment, and more. (And for those of you troublemakers trying to tune into the shop, the cafe has hours and they are seven hours ahead of New York).
