Magic Tables
Looks like I bought my dinner table far too early. Visiting BoingBoing, I stumbled over this:
It is a circular table which, when rotated at its outer perimeter, doubles its seating capacity, yet astonishingly remains truly circular.
The expansion leaves are stored within the table and, in just four seconds, smoothly and quickly emerge upon rotation, rising and radially expanding outwards as the entire top is turned through 30˚. Existing tables can seat six persons when small, and twelve or more when expanded, but there are other design possibilities.
Just watch the videos – that looks amazing. And expensive, for sure …
