The Most Amazing Tables You Will See Today

DB Fletcher

The Capstan Table and the Rising and Furling Table both expand radially, stay circular from small to large, and double in seating capacity. They self store their expansion leaves and operate in mere seconds and, in so doing, bring real innovation and intrigue to dining.

Like something invented by Q for James Bond, the Capstan Table operates in just 4 seconds. The table’s outer edge is rotated by 30 degrees. This causes the entire top to break up, sections to rise and travel outward, and the formation of a new top with a greatly increased volume.

The Rising and Furling Table operates with similar aplomb. This table, in its occasional and low mode, stores a cluster of folded extension leaves under its first diameter top. It rises to full dining height. The extension leaves are then click released from their hanging position, swung outward, and opened out to their second diameter size. Here they snap-lock into place to form an absolutely rigid top of far larger size. 6, 8, 10 and 12 seat versions are available, as well as D-ended styles.

Both tables are unique, utterly fascinating and highly practical. They are just two examples of the innovative abilities of David Fletcher.
