The 'Drop Leaf Table' is a functional furniture solution designed by tsai Design for use in small homes to help accommodate the everyday needs of inhabitants, while also allowing for group gatherings.
The table maintains a flexible design that will function in one of several orientations to suit different needs; this includes as a table for two, a work from home desk or even a full-sized dining table with space for six. The table was designed as part of a small apartment renovation and addresses the ever-changing needs of consumers who live in more compact urban spaces where furniture must highlight a multifunctional aesthetic.
