David Fletcher is a brilliant artist and these tables are incredible.

Oh my god, that would go so well in my planned Star Chamber!

Holy crap - me, too. I want one. Like, now.

Oh, man -- my Dad (who was both a woodworker and an engineer/gadget freak) would have LOVED this!!

It's like the dining room table of the Cenobites.

Beautiful.

"We can deliver anywhere in the world in a single shipment and then an installation technician, from the UK, completes the assembly on site."


...Wow. I can only imagine how much that costs.


Also: total weight of about 220 kilos (485 lbs)

How often do you buy a table like that, though? And how often would you expect it to break having bought something like that?

[kowh.livejournal.com]

At least one of those tables is explicitly designed for yachts, so I'm sure the installation cost isn't really a concern for the target market.

Want. Although I have a quibble with the claim that it remains truly round. As it does not. Very close, but not 100%.

[peristaltor.livejournal.com]

I don't know. The expanding leaves have a different outer circumference than the smaller ring. You can see the compressed circumference when the expansion starts.

The petals weren't round in the first configuration - the ring/rim/edge/gusset/whatever the fuck that is is what made it round.

Remove the ring, and you see the small version isn't round. It BECOMES round once it expands ;)

error acknowledged. The border ring is active or so short a time at the beginning of the video that I missed it the first dozen views.

So the radius of the 12 leaves when in the large format are that of a complete proper circle. The loss of the roundness when in the smaller configuration is covered by the border ring.

still want, even though I do not have the money or the space.

My brother-in-law could totally build this. He's got a bitchin' set of tools.

Of course, he would charge me $10K, but hey, he could do it.

MINE!

The youtube videos on the linked site are amazing to watch especial the automated expanding tables.

[drcuriosity]

Saw this a couple of years back. Wanted it then. Still want it now. Might even still feel like I want to get one if I already had one :-)

[reynardo.livejournal.com]

THAT's THAT TABLE! My husband and I saw one in New Orleans in 2002, on our honeymoon. No way we could afford it, but we still want it.

Ohhh my.

That GIF quality makes it look like something out of a Myst game. Also, the thing itself looks like it should be in a Myst game. Which makes it ridiculously cool.

[krinndnz.livejournal.com]

Can I get one that plays "Also Sprach Zarathustra" while it's expanding?
