This could be useful for modern-looking furniture manufacturers, and actually quite useful if you are lazy.

       oh *that* sounds like fun in the dark. :D

       Well, maybe we'll need then to add visible light sensors to block that when there isn't sufficient amount of light.

       So you would be locked out of your furniture at night?

       Oh, indeed, there are situations when drawer needs to be opened at night in the darkness. Then maybe we'll need to hack it by adding a touch sensor to override it, but it becomes an advanced drawer:   

       1. Infrared sensor
2. Visible light sensor
3. Touch sensor		   

       ... perhaps as long as there are no cats in the room.
