Kudos to French design firm La Tate Au Cube for their “Back Off” Space Invaders inspired doormat.

People often forget that the doormat is generally the first thing visitors encounter as they approach. It represents a fantastic opportunity to set the tone for what lies ahead – and the “Back Off” doormat practically screams “Yeah, we like Star Wars, video games, and Monty Python. What are you gonna do about it?”

The “Back Off” doormat Space Invaders animation is made possible by a flat panel LED powered on 2 AA batteries.
