Cube Style's Dining Table in a Cube
by Collin Dunn, Corvallis, OR, USA on 04. 4.08
From necessity comes invention. Anyone who's ever lived in Japan knows that the small spaces require compact living, and at least one furniture designer is obliging with a smart piece that creates a compact dining area from a cube.
Sadly, it's only available in Japan for now, but would be a great complement to the amazing BEDUP and any other compact living solution. It's not quite a whole apartment in a box, or a whole apartment's worth of stuff in 43 square feet, but it's still a pretty slick, space-saving design. Hit the jump to see it "uncubed." ::Cube Style (in Japanese) via ::Apartment Therapy: Los Angeles

Thats one good idea, so simple yet so useful. Very very useful on small places, plus it makes a room more spacier and tidy.

I like it, but I think they should chop of the arms (on the left) so you don't bang your elbows. Sure, it would leave a hole when closed up, but functionality takes precedence over looks.
Or maybe it's not the issue it looks to be.
Either way, I like it.
Wonderful!
I could build it for the North American market... How much are willing to pay ;-)
