Another video of the same table, little better close-ups. That thing must also weigh about as much as a Early 911 !!
It is rather incredible from both a mechanical design and aesthetic fit too. Interesting to see how the wood grain was done on that table.
Of course this gives rise to the idea of - a normal square table that you would pull open and leafs would pop up from the center. More space feasible, less mechanicals. Use a fan fold type design perhaps.
