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. These tables from Sculptures-Jeux come in a vast variety of types, heights, colors and layers that slide in and out of a core rectilinear table frame.
