This stunning folding table, called Lucy, has been created by Stockholm based designer Alexander Lervik for furniture brand Johanson Design. The innovative folding mechanism is based on an S-shaped slot that locks the legs and gives support to the frame when the table is unfolded. It also looks beautiful and delicate. When folded the piece is flat enough for convenient storage.”I wanted to create a really attractive table that didn’t pay attention to practical requirements. That was how the idea for folding legs cropped up, as they are stylistically pure in shape. The whole thing finished up with me having designed a smart folding table based on beauty rather than practicality,” – says the designer.
