Grand Central "Pop-Up" Table

Swedish designers Sanna Lindstrom and Sigrid Stromgren have teamed up to make this table design called Grand Central. The design and the name were inspired by the pop-up NYC maps. The table expands from a space-saving occasional table into a large round table. The legs open from a L to and X shape, both of which are very beautiful. The advanced construction is made up of 22 pieces that fold in and out in a very interesting pop-up way. The design is not just a CG-rendered concept, it will be on display in Milan this upcoming weekend. I love the design and think it is both functional and beautiful in a very innovative way. I would love to see this find of constructional transform into other types of furniture. Be sure to check out the designers other work. (I personally really enjoy Sigrid Stomgren's Hide and Seek table)
