Variety of transforming furniture - GIF

Various examples of transforming and collapsing furniture. A mix of cool stuff and some gimmickry. Some we've seen before, and some new.

In true GIF form, the last example is the coolest one.

I agree Jon some of them are really cool some I just don't get at all

The weird floating squishy table is done with magnets and steel cables.

Friends,

Does anyone know what a floating table sells for?

I know that I can't afford it, but I'm curious and it strikes me as bad manners to carefully hide the asking price like the RPR site does.

Are they afraid someone with a weak heart will look at the price, die from shock and then the heirs will sue?

Cheap at twice the cost.

Why, I bet you could get an 8 X 12" oil painting at that price at any decent art gallery.

Friends,

They were correct. That might cause a stroke or heart attack.

I remember when the local consensus was that one was only a true Pistolero when the value of his handgun collection exceeded the market value of his wheels. I can see that one might easily have more invested in silly gee-gaws than he had in his home. No not with ONE end table—unless he lived in a trailer—but a coffee table and two end tables and a few other frightfully priced interior decorations…

Nice expanding table leaf system.

This one is pretty useful and clever, depending on price I might buy one.

I like the soft close, but I wonder if you gotta get a perfect flick on it to close it correctly, and the reality is that half the time you walk into your bedroom you notice that the drawer is not completely shut.

You only need soft close doors and drawers when you were not a parent enough to train your millennail entitlement uh children not to slam the drawers and doors

I believe these are Blum motorized drawer slides.

I'd be Blum crazy if I could afford a housefull.

They are really helpful at Blum forwarding me a very expensive manual when I advised "I was a pro-handyman and had to service their products". Didn't even have to pic my portable blum hinge installation jig.

A well made wooden drawer will use the air to "soft" close even if one tries to slam it closed but takes lots of time getting tolerances correct: what in 50 or 100 years of use?

Table: the ends would need to be well locked esp at expansion end due to the angled slide. There is not much to support the pointy end on one side.

Great, in a limited space appartment/home for the occasional gathering, which could be 4 to 12 folk. I like it as you can extend as much as needed but where to store the panels? Bit like a round extending glass top table ( where to store the glass when extended) unlike the one shown elsewhere in "Homemade Tools".

I think I'm going to make one of those this summer.

Interesting challenge.
