Our Studio was to make  a multi-purpose furniture piece. The tables that are made to fold don't really fold, the legs are the only part that folds. Since it only folds in the legs it still takes up alot of space so I wanted to make a solution for that problem. I came up with a table that folds all the way down to take up as little space as posible. The folding design of my table allows the table to come down and allows for less space to be needed. To close the table you simply pull the ring and it comes down easily with the design I came up with. To open the table simply push the ring towads the top of the table to push it up to its table position. My first prototype had chairs attatched on both sides, but then one of the NUVU staff told me it was a better idea to stick with the tabel design instead. Towards the end of my project another NUVU staff told me I should create a ring to allow for the table to fold down and up.
