Abstract
A table having integrated lighting includes a table top having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a side edge. At least one light-diffusing insert is mounted along at least a portion of the side edge. There is also provided at least one lighting element mounted within the table top to illuminate the light-diffusing insert. The light-diffusing insert and the lighting element are housed within a horizontally-extending recessed channel along the side edge of the table. The table also includes at least one base support mounted beneath the table top. The base support has at least one open channel extending the length of the base support through which an electrical wire extends upwardly to the table top. The electrical wire is connected through the table top to the lighting element to provide electrical power to the lighting element.
