The Abgemahnt portable tote table by designer Nils Holger Moormann is a collapsible and flat pack furniture piece that is ideal for transporting and setting up in nearly any location.
Unlike a traditional table, the Abgemahnt is designed to be as easily taken apart as it is put together. The furniture piece is made from several simple elements that come together in a quick pinch to create a sturdy surface to hold all sorts of objects, knick-knacks and magazines. The table is made with a wooden block base that attaches to a wired rectangle that comes through the centre of the table top.
With many consumers living on-the-go lifestyles, having furniture that is adaptable and easily flexible to work in new spaces is ideal for millennial home owners.
