Okay this is the last one (I know I am starting to appear obsessesed but this fascinates me). If you don’t know what I am talking about see my first post about an amazing puzzle table , then an Even more amazing table , And even more…even more amazing table to get the ridiculousness of these posts. (I think I had too much coffee today or soemthing).

Finally I found the source. This amazing table is actually several designs of the same concept from the company dbfletcher design

From the dbfletcher website:

The expanding table shown here is the result of many years of modern development, but also follows a line of history of more than one and a half centuries. This, the Fletcher Capstan Table, is unique.

It is a round table, which at the press of a button, amazingly doubles its seating capacity and, just as astonishingly, remains truly circular. Very importantly it stores its expansion leaves within itself. Existing tables can seat six persons when small, and twelve or more when expanded, but there are other design possibilities. Operation, which has been described as ‘pure magic’ by Boat International magazine, really is a sight to behold and extremely quick, it taking mere seconds to complete an entire expansion or reduction cycle.

The video embedded here is a promotional video for the DB Fletcher Capstan series of table and shows it in all it’s glory on a yacht.

I love how it works, but I wonder if they could make it look like it came from IKEA? :)

If you thought 4 posts about a table were a lot, wait until I dig up some stuff about whatever happened to the Murphy Bed. dbfletcher design couldn’t buy this kind of obsessive word of mouth promotion!
