​On the Underfull, spilled milk (or soda, or wine) never looked so cool. 
The tablecloth, by Norwegian designer Kristine Bjaadal, has a pattern that first appears when wet and absorbs the color of the spill.  
“This creates stories and can contribute in giving the tablecloth sentimental value,” she writes. “[It’s] important in a society where we seem to have an increasingly superficial relation to the objects we surround ourselves with.”

And while the cloth is currently a prototype, you can read more about it and email the designer through her website
