To fully complete a family room space, a table, a footstool and a desk make the area accommodating for a broad range of activities. The UMYD Coffee Table is a clever all-in-one lounge accessory that caters to each of these needs in a rather inventive way.
When collapsed into its most compact form, the molded plywood piece assumes the shape of a chic low-level surface. A close look reveals the diagonal placement of the paneling on top, connected loosely to the smooth U-shaped braces beneath.
Altering the arrangement of this Cruxflux creation is quite simple, because by pulling the ends away or by separating the ones in the center, the Union Modular y Democratica (UMYD) Coffee Table expands to afford accessible spaces and spanning surfaces to use as ottomans and TV trays.
