Don’t realize how ordinary your table is because you never have a better alternative? Then have a look at the Rubber Table designed by Thomas Schnur. The unique table has a suction cup on each of its five legs, and therefore it can stand in any places-the flat ground, an inclined surface, or even the ceilings. Of course a table is usually not expected to stand on a ceiling, but it is welcomed too if it has that ability. [Read the rest of this entry...]
RockPaperRobot’s FLOAT was brought to our notice due to its changing shapes.

Just look at the Rotating Squares Table, it’s obviously another piece of furniture meant for the “must-have” of your grocery lists. Constructed from 16 small squares, the table can open up to 1.4 times of its original size when these small squares are moved. Maybe also due to that magic rotating squares method, the table wears a surprising price of more than £2000 though it is simply made from oiled birch plywood. So the price must have made the table “one of the most expensive pieces” in your furniture collection, too. [Read the rest of this entry...]
Inspired by the idea that small changes of individual objects can be a big impact on the whole, Korean designers Seo Jeonghwa and Hanna Chung have collaborated the ‘ripple effect’ tea table that features a water layer on the top to make ripples when the users move cups on it.

Winning entry at LG HI-MACS European Design Award, the “Slide Eat” Lunch Table may not be the best furniture for kids, but it indeed looks cool and quite different from common furniture. Firstly, the new table features a curvy design to take the place of regular sharp edges, keeping the kids from getting hurt. Another point you will be interested is the built-in holders for containing plates, glasses and cutlery, and we bet that would help a lot to avoid the spilling of food. And more importantly, the table is also a slide for kids！ [Read the rest of this entry...]
Tables are needed furniture but they’re usually also bulky, so you have to dedicate quite a large amount of space to them. And that’s why tables and especially the long tables are often tough to fit in small apartments. Except these tables created by Ochre. The designers solved that problem by folding the tables into the wall when they’re not in use, therefore offering you a spacious room for other activities. When you want a table, just pull them out of the wall and you can use them as a dining table or a work bench. [Read the rest of this entry...]
