We TreeHuggers regularly fall all over ourselves for smart, space-saving, folding, flat-packable designs, but even we were left agape by this video. German designer Nils Frederking has bowled us over with his folding chair and table that seem to defy ordinary furniture physics with their deft foldability. Prepare to be impressed with the video, and hit the jump for some pics of the designs in action. ::Nils Frederking Table and ::Nils Frederking Chair via ::Spluch and ::Gizmodo

It's different, but I fail to see what makes this incredible. It certainly does do anything except be furniture... and fold.
I agree with Bob. And Paul.
This really isn't anything too special. The table's kind of nifty, but the chair's really nothing new.
wow. love the table. seen the chair before.
