Most of us enjoy being able to exercise control over our surroundings, down to the built environments we occupy and homes we call our own. For fellow followers of transforming furniture of all kinds, these transforming table designs might seem boring and conventional - or they may be a welcome simple and space-saving relief from the recent influx of complex convertible creations.
There is one trick to these, one which is both simple to see and easy to use: flat rectangular surfaces slot into place for compact storage when not in use, and pull out to whatever length is required for a given task. No flip-up, fold-down, spin-around secrets, just simple sliding motions to increase or decrease available dining, work or side-table space.
Aesthetically, they are tied together through a common theme: accented edges stand out from the surface areas to emphasize the structural independence of each moving part within the whole. Some are colorful while others have toned-down gray-and-black palettes, but in virtually ever example you can immediately see from the contrast how to operate these dynamic furniture designs.
