Team 7's Elegant Flaye Extendable Table

By Rain Noe - February 5, 2013

in Furniture Design

Team 7 is an Austrian outfit that manufacturers furniture out of (gasp!) natural wood, using walnut combined into three plies. Led by experienced wood designer Jacob Strobel, they've created a byoootiful extending table with well-concealed extra panels. I've seen similar mechanisms before, but the easy, elegant precision of this one, coupled with the gorgeous walnut finish, has me drooling.

It's called the Flaye, and unsurprisingly there's no video of what we designers all want to see—what's going on below the table during the action. All they'll say is that it works via "revolutionary non-stop synchronised pull-out technology."

It looks awesome. But when we see the video it looks like some kind of computer graphics. But i know it is a modern engineering way the table expand by using single clamp and pulling the whole new big table within it. fantastic

That's pretty slick. Whenever I have to extend my dining table to reveal the hidden leaf, I end up underneath the table on my back, pushing on one side with my hands and the other with my feet. Sure, I could ask for some help, but... self-reliance... FTW...?! Sigh...
