The 'Mubic' table is a modular furniture solution for the modern home intended to help maximize the capabilities of inhabitants by highlighting a multifunctional design. The modular table functions as a coffee table on a daily basis, but can be expanded without the need to disassemble it to offer seating for two, four or six people as a dining table. The minimal design is deviated from slightly with the use of neon color on the frame, which helps to give it a touch of enhanced character.
The 'Mubic' table is the design work of Katalin Brigitta Csíki of Studio11 who spoke further on the piece saying, "Before designing this product, I did deep research about modular tables. There are a lot of them which can be transformed from one position to another, most of them by adding or removing pieces of the table. But I didn’t find anything like Mubic, which has 4 different positions, and you can transform it without any adding or disassembling. I also went to design fairs and events to ask the opinion of the visitors about this type of product for a clear and precise vision."
