The RoTenSion Table is a daring table concept that is made from wood and metal and it definitely manages to impress with its uniqueness. The table is made of various layers of wood that intertwine in such a way that the perfectly circular table can be turned into a smaller table and stored away when not needed. In fact, due to the way the RoTenSion Table is built you can create various table shapes out of it by simply rotating the various pieces of circular wood while also adjusting the position of the metal legs. The table can then be placed in different areas of a room for a totally original effect. The RoTenSion Table is definitely an inspiring concept that could turn out to be a lot more useful around the house than you might think. Via Coroflot

"Furniture with Memory" has been conceptualized by Warsaw-based designer and artist Agnieszka Lastoa and we applaud her for creating a product that is relevant to our times. The collection is a testament to man's technological progress and his yearning for holding on to his roots. The pièce de résistance of the collection is no doubt the a 90-year old oak dining table that has been encased in an electro-polarized glass which when activated, projects digital images on the surface itself.

Footprints in the sand always make for some lovely and poignant imagery, so it doesn't surprise us that designer Nicholas Langan decided to recreate the illusion in wood. Langan's Footprint Table may be an ode to Mary Stevenson's touching Footprints in the Sand poem or just the designers own desire to leave a mark in the A&D scene,whatever the motivation no one can deny its appeal. The table has been made from solid oak and is finished with oil and then using modern day technology, Langan indents the footprints around the top and the underside.

The Chalk ping-pong table by studio Aruliden for Puma cashes on to this trend and according to them it is perfect for the after-hours athlete," who likes to socialize over drinks and a game of ping-pong. The hip design is no coincidence and the chalkboard surface allows players to write down their scores, game stats and even profanities to maintain a banter! There is also ample storage space below the surface which ensures you don't need to run to the kitchen to get your snacks and beer.

As a general rule, most tables tend to be static, but thats not the case with the Rotating Squares Table which is all about movement. Designed by Tom Cecil, the core of the Rotating Squares Table is its small wooden blocks that can be moved around to create diverse patterns without taking away from the primordial properties of the table itself. Made from oiled birch plywood, the Rotating Squares Table is not cheap since the most basic avatar will cost you around £2000.
