So it looks like an ordinary wooden table with extra set of legs and a lot of crazy stuff happening underneath it but obviously, it's far from ordinary. What seems like another clumsily made furniture is actually a very innovative design. This ordinary looking table can walk!
Designed by Wouter Scheublin, a Dutch designer, this piece of furniture have mechanical limbs that move up and down, and back and forth as one tries to push it and move it into another position. The table seems to crawl as its legs move. The mechanical movements help the user change its position with much ease.
Although it's not as attractive as other innovative designed furniture, this has a lot of potential in terms of usability and flexibility for future designs. I'm sure they'll make a nicer looking furniture as they further develop the design.
Watch the video below to see how this table is able to walk.
