Drop Leaf Table

The drop leaf table’s clarity of form conceals a dynamic structure that allows the simple-looking piece to work in complex ways.  

Articulating legs on casters support a solid walnut top that folds along saw-tooth hinges. When the legs swing to the corners, the hinged leaves lift into a dining table. When the legs swing inward, the leaves drape over the frame to become a narrow sideboard. Between these two options are other variations:  the table can partially open while remaining balanced and weight-stable, and the moving legs allow multiple tables to interlock and serve larger gatherings.
