Youthful Racetrack Counters

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

TrackTile Tables are Functional for All Family Members

— July 19, 2012 — Art & Design
Getting the kids to come to the dinner table can be a hassle, but with a playful design like the TrackTile Tables, they will be more than happy to oblige. Designed by Paul Mottram and his team at 3Foot3 Design, the shape-shifting counter features a series of embedded toy train tracks.

The TrackTile tables come with interchangeable track plates, allowing home owners to switch things up for the young ones. The track pads can also be flipped over to a conventional flat surface, which allows the table to function like any other. Each table is made to order in the specifications requested by the purchaser. Although the design currently only comes in a light Beech finish, the company is expanding to offer dark wood options.

With a design that can be constantly changed up, the TrackTile tables will keep even the most troublesome kids entertained for hours.
