I'm currently finishing up the construction of the first in a series of transformational furniture. The table/bench surface is solid Hard Maple, the bases and supports are Peruvian Walnut and Walnut Ply, and the ends are solid Cherry. The inspiration for this piece was a desire to have a fully functional dining table for a large group of friends but in the space of a small apartment that rarely needs a table that large. So when not being used as a dining table, this piece folds into a 3-person bench with two folding end tables. Some design components have been altered in the final production - which should be finished in the next month. I'm also in the process of designing the chairs and cushions that compliment this piece.
