The 'Together and Apart Table' has been designed by Bjarke Ballisager as a [customizable furniture solution](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expand-furniture) for the modern home that puts a focus on shapeshifting aesthetics. The table is achieved with two separate wedges that fit together thanks to a sawtooth detail on the top and bottom, respectively. This enables the tablet to be changed up according to the needs of the inhabitant to make it higher or lower to suit a specific activity or time of day.

The 'Together and Apart Table' can be used as a conventional [coffee table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-spinning-coffee-table) or even used in the opposite orientation as a [side table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tong-side-table) to further enhance how it functions within the home. The decidedly simple solution is perfect for providing just a touch of personality in a hyper-functional way.
