Shapeshifting Productivity Coffee Tables

The Ozzio 'Metrino' Turns Your Living Room into an Office

— October 28, 2018 — Art & Design
The always-connected lifestyle that the majority of consumers are leading today means they often have to get work done at a moment's notice, so the Ozzio 'Metrino' coffee table is designed to enable just this.

Created as the perfect furniture solution for your living room, the table is outfitted with a hydraulic lift mechanism that allows the top section to be shifted upward and towards the couch. This offers users a makeshift workstation to use in the evening when watching TV or as a spot to place plates if they need to use it for dining.

The Ozzio 'Metrino' coffee table hides ample storage on the interior section and addresses the need for dual-purpose furniture as the average consumer home continues to shrink.

3. Space-saving Solutions - As homes continue to shrink, the trend of space-saving furniture like the Ozzio 'Metrino' coffee table presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the home decor industry.
