The guys at Roche Bobois have designed this amazing piece of furniture – the Astrolab extendable dining table. The gorgeous piece would make any home even more contemporary and interesting than it might be. It sports polished aluminum legs together with a glass plate top.
The most important feature of this table is its extensibility – the displayed mechanized cog mechanism allows for two 40-centimeter extensions at both the table’s heads, ensuring room for all sorts of dinner gatherings or family reunions. The extension process can be operated from afar via a remote control, being powered by a battery system.
The visibility of the gears and mechanisms may add a retro feel to the device, if you’re one who notices it. We like to think of it as being rather futuristic, more techie and masculine. This impressive piece of engineering is also available in the form of a coffee table for those who appreciate free space. Check Roche Bobois’ website for more details here.
