Thats a really clever design for combining a dining table and chair set. Are they made from oak??

This is a great design. i love it. I love that you turned an ordinary household item into sculpture. many people have asked why turn it into a big box? well, a big box of real nice wood looks a lot nicer than that clusterfuck of chairs and a table you call a dining room set.. that’s for sure. Cleaning seems like it would be easy enough, maybe not the EASIEST to clean out there, but sacrifices must be made for elegance. The crafstmanship looks wonderful and iIlove the leaf spring seats, great little detail there. good work!

The hidden chair feature used in this table is very close to the design used for the hidden chairs on back wall computer table/workstations on the Star Trek Next Generation bridge set (circa 1987)

Yeah sure, I like lifting, moving or breaking down my dining table, just to be able to clean below. Great design! It doesn’t matter how you turn it – it remains an everyday object and it will collect dirt below. I can clean below other tables without lifting, moving or breaking down anything, so this case here has a clear handicap.

If limits of a design are what makes a design stand out or what makes a design non-ordinary, your conception of design is so off, sorry. Design shouldn’t be limiting at all, it’s the opposite.

Have you ever cleaned under a table before? If so, you would clearly understand that all it takes is a little lifting and moving a few inches. Why is this any different? And if you really would’ve looked into it more to have a full understanding of what it is exactly that you are criticizing, you would have realized that the designer specifically made it with the ability to easily break down into a total of 13 pieces, not only for thorough cleanings, but for ease of packing, moving and shipping as well. And if that is too hard, you can simply remove the tabletop from the skeleton to run a vaccuum underneath. Sounds like cleaning hasn’t been easier.

And perhaps the “limits” of the table that you talk about are what ultimately makes it stand out above every other table out there. You want ordinary-you can easily find it. Its going above and beyond ordinary in a concept all your own that make the difference between a good design and a great design, and then pairing it with flawless craftsmanship and aesthetics. Sounds like a lot to take on, but the designer clearly has done more than just that.
