Foldable Table


A small coffee table that doubles in size when opened. The table is
derived from the way that a children's board game opens, mechanical
but softly. The table is made from wood but features fabric hinges
rather than metal. The proportions of the table top and the frame
are related, and the change in size of the expanding frame moves from
half to double the table top length. The fabric is partially visible
between the wood panels. |
