London designer, Mauricio Affonso, took a run-of-the-mill table from IKEA and turned it into an ingenious shape-shifting design. He cannibalized the wood from the original table and transformed into one that can fan out into something larger and more practical. While the surface area is stretched out, it is still sturdy enough to support a casual dinner.
“The real trick is in the base, which slides in and out in a telescopic manner and swings outwards to create the structure and support needed for the top to fan out” according to Affonso
