afigitelno!!!

as cool as these are i get the feeling they are handmade for no reason other than it means they can charge through the nose for it. 'oh it's all about quality' well if you mass produced it, it would be affordable enough that people wouldn't need it to last a fucking millennium. the only reason it has to be hand made, is the expectations that come with the price tag, which is caused by the fact that it's hand made. it's utterly circular logic.

amazing engineering...
but mfw, I'll never be able to afford this level of awesomeness.
:'(
read that price starts at $25,000,
and can go up past $50,000 depending on options and finishes.
I think still having $25,000 in pocket or bank (not that I do)
and rather just holding my plate
might be a bit more awesome. -
Holy Dooly that's Amazing

Damn, I was wondering how much it would cost but sounds about right.. nicer the nice higher the price... but I can see the price dropping on these (hopefully) in about 20 years for normal people to buy them lol

Manufactured by DB Fletcher Furniture Design @ http://www.dbfletcher.com/capstan/ Fletcher Capstan Tables The expanding table shown here is the result of many years of development, but follows a line of history of more than one and a half centuries. This, the Fletcher Capstan Table, is the only table in the world with its unique properties. It is a circular table which, when rotated at its outer perimeter, doubles its seating capacity, yet astonishingly remains truly circular. The expansion leaves are stored within the table and, in just four seconds, smoothly and quickly emerge upon rotation, rising and radially expanding outwards as the entire top is turned through 30˚. Existing tables can seat six persons when small, and twelve or more when expanded, but there are other design possibilities. All Capstan Tables are exclusively designed and built, and each one numbered. Careful consideration is always given to a table's location and components are made to the highest standards. Nautical tables are so constructed that they are able to resist a harsh marine environment to the point that they may be positioned permanently on an exposed deck. Read about the genesis and history of the Radially Expanding Table. Specifications * Tables can be of any style and of any suitable material and are exclusively designed for each commission * The area of the table expands by 73% allowing two sizes with seating capacities of six and twelve. * Typical diameter variation -- small size 1.9m (74.75"), large 2.5m (98.5") * The operating mechanism is beautifully engineered, simple and robust. PATENT GRANTED. DESIGN RIGHT. (via BoingBoing)
