Young upcoming British designer Giles Wilson-Copp anticipated consumers' needs perfectly when he created the SmartSide Board.
Perfect for people who have small apartments but still crave design, the SmartSide Board is a cross between a storage cabinet and a table. A set of four chairs conveniently slides into four top drawers and four cabinets to create one unit. Slide the chairs out and a table is created instantly. In addition, all components are completely independent of each other.
