Sketchup folded up table


Sketchup Unfolded table/bed


100 Words

My original item of furniture was a table. I wanted to transform the table into a piece of furniture that is practical and that would suit an environment like a flat or small house. Because of this I knew that the transformed piece of furniture would need to fold back into a table that is compact and can be subtle in its environment. Whenever I have friends over I always find there is a shortage of beds, if only I could have a bed that could be transformed into a compact yet usable piece of furniture. Hence I came up with the idea of the coffee table that looks normal enough, but when guests come over it transforms into a wooden bed structure.
