The Scroll table by Nobody & Co. changes its look to suit your mood. Underneath the glass top, 7 different designs printed on fabric are rolled up in either end of the table. Turn the crank and you can scroll through the patterns to find the perfect one for the evening’s dinner. The handle stores below when not in use.
Imagine, no more tablecloths getting wine stains and tomato sauce spots, just wipe the glass top clean.
The fabrics, designed by Timorous Beasties, are either hand-printed on gray linen or digitally reproduced on white cotton. The patterns include Swirl, Iguana, Birdcage, Thistle, Russian Damask, and Backgammon.
