Portable Dining Tables

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Swallow Table Offers Familial Seating with a Modern Travelling Design

— March 17, 2016 — Art & Design
The SWALLOW dining table designed by Austeja Platukyte offers familial seating in any setting with a modern and portable design that allows users to set the table up virtually anywhere. The furniture piece features a compact design with instant set up that is ideal for quickly putting together a space to seat several individuals. This is ideal for consumers living in smaller spaces where having a permanent dining room set-up isn't attainable. The SWALLOW table allows consumers to achieve the same large-scale dining area on a temporary basis.

Platukyte's table offers a reconstructable design made from a wooden table top with legs that can be slotted into triangular grooves. Once the table is set, a linen table cloth can be securely incorporated for added style thanks to the tabletop's two end slots.
Trend Themes
1. Familial Seating - Opportunity for disruptive innovation lies in creating portable dining tables that can accommodate larger groups of people in any setting.

3. Compact and Instant Set-up - The trend of compact and instantly set-up dining tables presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in creating efficient and user-friendly designs that can be assembled quickly and easily.
Industry Implications

2. Home Decor - Opportunities for disruptive innovation lie within the home decor industry to create portable dining tables that combine functionality with aesthetic appeal, catering to consumers in smaller spaces.
3. Real Estate - The real estate industry can consider disruptive innovation by incorporating portable dining tables as a selling point for smaller living spaces, offering flexibility and versatility to potential buyers.
