Description: Manufactured by DB Fletcher Furniture Design @ http://www.dbfletcher.com/capstan/ Fletcher Capstan Tables The expanding table shown here is the result of many years of development, but follows a line of history of more than one and a half centuries. This, the Fletcher Capstan Table, is the only table in the world with its unique properties. It is a circular table which, when rotated at its outer perimeter, doubles its seating capacity, yet astonishingly remains truly circular. The expansion leaves are stored within the table and, in just four seconds, smoothly and quickly emerge upon rotation, rising and radially expanding outwards as the entire top is turned through 30˚. Existing tables can seat six persons when small, and twelve or more when expanded, but there are other design possibilities. All Capstan Tables are exclusively designed and built, and each one numbered. Careful consideration is always given to a table's location and components are made to the highest standards. Nautical tables are so constructed that they are able to resist a harsh marine environment to the point that they may be positioned permanently on an exposed deck. Read about the genesis and history of the Radially Expanding Table. Specifications * Tables can be of any style and of any suitable material and are exclusively designed for each commission * The area of the table expands by 73% allowing two sizes with seating capacities of six and twelve. * Typical diameter variation -- small size 1.9m (74.75"), large 2.5m (98.5") * The operating mechanism is beautifully engineered, simple and robust. PATENT GRANTED. DESIGN RIGHT. (via BoingBoing)

zeeparc ::: Favorites bad idea to push the tables using the strength from the lower back, can cause serious damage to the spine... let alone the safety, nice table design though. 07-05-03 05:11:24 __________________________________________________
