# Space Saving Furniture Dining Table in a Cube By Ayman | Published 2008-04-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dining-table-in-a-cube References: [treehugger](http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/04/dining-table-in-a-cube.php) & [dinos.co.jp](http://www.dinos.co.jp/defaultMall/sitemap/CSfLastGoodsPage_001.jsp?GOODS_NO=537100) Japan is infamous for expensive and limited living space. From the necessity of efficiently utilizing this limited space comes a cool dining table in a cube design by [Cube Style](http://www.dinos.co.jp/defaultMall/sitemap/CSfLastGoodsPage_001.jsp?GOODS_NO=537100). The dining set is cleverly designed such that it is an unassuming little cube when not in use. Whenever you want to use it, simply pull the chairs away and you have yourself a table with seats for four people. When closed, it does not look so pretty (well, it looks like a cube of wood!), throwing a funky table cover on top would solve the problem. I love it.
