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.

The table was created for a collaborative exhibition with Dutch funriture manufacturer ARCO and was exhibited at the exhibition OKAY LONDON at Vivid Gallery, Rotterdam. Photographs by Lucas Hardonk - not to be used without permission.
