Sure, we’ve all seen fold–up tables but probably nothing like the Grand Central table concept from this pair of freelance designers, Sanna Lindström and Sigrid Strömgren.
Being Swedish, they know a thing or two about making cool furniture. The Grand Central ups the ante on many space-saving tables, not just because it folds up all neat and small, but because you can reorganise into an large origami-styled art piece.
Jump now to see what we mean.
The table comprises 22 pieces that fold out in an ingenious manner to create a stylish round table suitable equally for office meetings or breakfast in places where space is at a premium.
After that, some inventive folding rewards you with an origami art piece, that looks rather like some paper monster getting ready to eat you. Ironically, the inspiration for the piece was a pop-up map of New York.
You can’t help but feel though that you may need some serious practice in order to get this thing to fold out into just the item you want. Interesting nonetheless.
