The Unfold by Mathilde Molholm is a transforming table heavily inspired by the [paper-folding art of origami](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ori-lamp).

At whim, the minimalist table can be easily configured to [four different designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metamorphosis-collection-2), which would make it ideal for locations that are affected by [space limitations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacesaving-furniture1). The table’s only downfall is that, when folded, it has an uneven surface that could potentially cause problems for the unwary; however, the Unfold by Mathilde Molholm remains a fun and potentially useful piece of furniture.
