Humble Foldable Tables

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Daniel Garcia Sanchez's Vis a Vis Desk Serves a Wholly Practical Purpose

— April 21, 2011 — Art & Design
Saving space in small homes can be a complete drag because every purchase has to be fully examined for practical and aesthetic reasons, yet there are some gems like the Vis a Vis table that just fit, no matter what. Of course, that's all thanks to the clever designer behind its creation.

In this case, that designer happens to be the one and only Daniel Garcia Sanchez. He has designed a humble desk that folds up conveniently for easy storage and remains quite close to the wall while in use. Although it might be considered too simple, it serves a practical purpose: once you are done using it, it can be tucked away neatly.

I especially like how the Vis a Vis table has two sides for extra surface space.
