Similar to the Easy-packing Table we introduced before, the La Gota Table by Timothy Emmott also aims to help you tidy up your workbench quickly and easily. But the difference is that the La Gota Table is designed to hold used items or more exactly your rubbish, like the waste paper, sharpener waste, etc. The table features a big opening on one corner, which would lead the rubbish down through the hollow leg and fall into the trash barrel. In case that anything useful will fall into the hole, the designer also surrounds the opening with some ripples.
