The Extendable Table acts like an accordion. Although it doesn't produce any music, it moves in and out as though it were channeling the defining characteristic of this particular instrument. It is this action that allows the Extendable Table to accommodate more people when hosting a party.
Created by Julien Vidame, a designer based in France, the Extendable Table is perfect for small spaces. The table top is made up of wood panels, each of which rotate open to effectively double the surface when needed. This useful design ensures that people own a piece of furniture that takes into account their specific lifestyle. According to Vidame, there is a prototype of the Extendable Table available for production.
