Push Up Tables

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Spider Table

— June 8, 2008 — Art & Design
I love this table design that forces you to exercise and burn a few calories each time you want to use it, presumably to eat and take in more calories.

The Push Up Table by Chris Murphy is inspired by a press up machine. The table has two heights, requiring you to perform a press up on the table to raise and lower it.

The designer's site calls it the “Spider Table”, but his Design Spotter profile calls it the “Push Up Table”. I guess it is a spider-looking push up table.

The unique table is being shown in the Bucks New Uni exhibit between 6th - 12th June 2008, and at New Designers between 10th - 13th July 2008.
