Tippy-Toed Tables

The Ballerina Folding Table is a Light-Footed Contortionist Furnishing

With limited interior space to work with, one may find that an adaptable domestic program is the best way to ensure your home can host a wider variety of activities. Objects like the Ballerina Folding Table allow you to accommodate dinner guests and crafty pastimes with a convenient elevated plane that’s easily stored and slipped out when needed.

Ake Axelsson designed the nimble piece for Garsnas with four slender collapsible legs. Available in two different widths, the smooth 125-centimeter surfaces tuck up to a surprisingly slim depth of under 6cm. The consequence is a sturdy furnishing object that occupies negligible space within a closet or cupboard, only making its presence known when its service is required. The Ballerina Folding Table flaunts its mere 10kg mass with tapered footings that appear to brace minimal weight.
