Hi people - heres some renders of my 'fold' table I am just about to complete. The table is made from solid NZ pine (clear, interior grade).

I orignally designed this piece in November last year, and has been in the 'incubator' for about 6 months, before I finally committed to final design specs. I believe the table would work well in both domestic and commercial environments, its not everyone's taste, but the form is quite versatile.

The breif I made for this table was relatively simple. I wanted a design that was easy to manufacturer, used only one material,  I wanted something which was significantly cheaper than my last table ($650) so I set a total budget of $200 for materials. I estimate there to be about 10 - 12 hours labour, now that I have done the first run and have Ironed out a few deficiencys.

The table will be finished in clear Briwax to retain the natural white colour.

Although it looks relatively simple, the mitres are 60 deg, and the inner legs require a compound 'double' angle cut. Looks cool though.

I feel there's heaps of room to move with the form and am currently designing a range to compliment this piece. Will post some renders when they are finalized.

Cheers, Hayden

Heres one variation of the same concept - opens up the interior space more, but still retains the orignal intent with the angles . . . What do you think?

As I mentioned earlier I am looking into developing a range of items within the 'fold' set, this will focus around lounge furniture, primarilly small sofa-side tables, wall cabinets, etc.

The next two renders here are at the moment, basic forms/ideas which compliment my table. Quick and easy (relatively) to produce, of which I envision there to be several of in a room. Sizes can vary to suit, and am also investigating veneering the smaller one with e-veeners range.

You can have a look at these and order samples from http://www.eveneer.com.au/

Hey bro. I like the look of the new pieces. Looking forward to seeing the finished table you're working on. Good work bro.

Hey looking good
How many concepts are you looking to get out in this range. if thats what your going for?

Myles - Im not to sure exactly, Ive only kinda concepted the 2 side cabinets, I don't envision it being a massive range, but i like the possibility of options for the cabinets, such as veneers etc. Perhaps a shelf could be integrated in the larger cabinet.

I haven't given these full thought yet, I like the idea of tapering the inner legs (that fold up) as on the table. This could also be done on only one face, so you could reverse it and not see it, with the other side being flush. . . .

To give you an Idea on dimensions the cabinets are:

Large: 800x400x400
Smaller: 500X400x400

Bro those renders are really good . .u got a sik logo to
cant wait to c it finished !
