Table in a Suitcase

Portable Cardboard Table

— June 16, 2008 — Art & Design
Traveling designers and students with limited space know the importance of a handy design table. Cutting on bedroom carpet floors, tiled kitchen surfaces and back-ache inducing low tables is not a particularly joyous experience.

Cutting Table No. 1 by Liborius Reykjavík is a conveniently portable and airplane-friendly solution that targets these students and designers on the move. The modular cutting-table frees you from physical dependencies and allows you to work wherever the inspiration hits.

Keeping portability and limited space in mind, the affordable and biodegradable Cutting Table No. 1 comes with 3 collapsible drawers, strap, moving/storing box, and a laminated white surface top. All parts are easily replaceable.

According to the designers, the table has thus far been employed as a “cutting table, meeting table, dinner table, baby changing table, RPG table, and a bed.”

The (1500mm x 1200mm x 930mm) table comes packed and ready to ship around the world at a weight of 12 Kg, with a special 18% discount to all design students.
