A coffee table that becomes a table when you actually need one. Shut, it is a low 50cm coffee table; lift the hinged top and it rises to 65cm, which is the height you want for eating, working or balancing a laptop without hunching forward. The lift section is 40cm deep, and underneath it is a full-width hidden compartment for the things that otherwise live on top — remotes, magazines, chargers, paperwork, snacks and tableware. Put the top down and all of it vanishes, leaving a clear surface. The double-sided wood-effect finish is edge-banded 1mm on every visible edge, and slim wooden legs hold the table 30cm off the floor with the easy, vintage character of French-country furniture. Built from 15mm board at 680 density and rated E1, it arrives flat-packed and two people can assemble it in about half an hour.
