Flowering Table

 

What is the point in having different tables for different purposes? Would it not be more convenient if we can get by with one table that can serve multiple purposes?

For those of us with limited space in our homes, it can be difficult to justify a coffee table and dinner table. If there was a way that one piece of furniture could serve multiple purposes, it would save us space. That is the motivation behind the flowering table.

Inspired by nature, and origami. The flowering table can change forms depending on function. It can flower from an end table to a coffee table, to a dinner table. In its most compact form, the table would fold into an end table, this allows it to sit inconspicuously in the corner of the room or to allow ease of storage. From there, it can unfold itself (or flower), to serve as a coffee table. If you are having guests over for dinner, and you need the use of a larger table, the flowering table could also flower into a large dinner table that can easily accommodate a large number of guests.

Nice! Why stop there? Could this table be more than a table?
