Porada Giotto Coffee Table

Picture 10

Picture 11

Porada was established in 1968 by Luigi Allievi with the help of his 4  sons in order to expand the production of chairs, started in 1948, to other branches of home furnishing.

This Giotto Coffee table is my personal favourite from their current collection and illustrates perfectly the result when combining modern technological processes with the traditional artisan style of the area.

See Porada for further details.

Expanding Table… Magic!

Onedeko presents the Sprite Coffee/Dining Table. Do you need a dining room, but lack the adequate space for one? Does your living room need to double up as a proper working space? If so, look no further than to the elegant Sprite coffee/dining table – a unique piece of furniture design and a great space saver.

This coffee table doubles up as a full sized dining table at the push of a button. Concealed within its design is a single button that raises or lowers the table. With its top extended, the coffee table instantly becomes a dining table that can seat up to six people. This versatile table transforms any small living area into a proper dining or workspace.

I know that this isn’t strictly retro but it is such a clever design that I thought it was worth sharing with you all!
