Fascinatingly Simple – Part Deux
From one of my favorite designers, Robert van Embricqs, the Rising Table is the latest in a series of sculptural furniture elements that are not only functionally genius but also aesthetically fascinating. Like the rest of the Rising Series, the table utilizes a unique slat-folding technique to transform from a flat piece of seemingly solid wood to a fully functional table with an intricate web of wonderful angles and angular shapes that are a signature of this remarkable designer.

Very inspired by this. Great job. How does it lock in place so that the table doesn’t collapse when it is folded open?

It does look awesome, and exciting. However, and this is just my oppinion, but the actually useful area on the opened table seems to be incredibly small compared to the whole product – pens, small gadgets, etc. can easily fall through. But please do correct me, if I’m wrong
Moveis says
spectacular
CB says
Nice idea inspired by Calatrava I assume!
Ray says
It would be easy enough to put a plain of glass/plastic overtop for easy cleaning and to keep utensils from falling
Hunter says
I don’t think it’s designed as a dinner table, but yes it does need some kind of flat-surface overlay.
