Sometimes the simplest designs are the most brilliant, especially when they offer multiple functions. The MK1 Transforming Table by Duffy London compacts into a minimalist yet visually interesting coffee table, but fold out the legs and it becomes a dining table within seconds.

A single person can transform the table in under a minute with minimal effort. It’s available in mini and large versions, which both come in solid oak, ash or walnut plus high grade birch plywood from Forest Stewardship Council-managed forests.

A third option, the same size as the mini, is made of powder-coated mild steel. A weather-safe version for outdoors costs just a little bit more. Each one is handcrafted to order by local artisans.

Duffy London also designed the Woodsman Axe table, which incorporates four axes as its legs, and the fun swing table, which makes meetings a lot more interesting.
