You know that Seinfeld episode where Kramer invents a coffee table book that turns into an actual coffee table?
You know that Seinfeld episode where Kramer invents a coffee table book that turns into an actual coffee table? Well, Bookniture is basically that storyline come to life, and we're pretty pleased about it indeed.
The design blends advanced origami techniques with the traditional craft of book-binding, resulting in a fold-out piece of furniture that can be used as a stool, footrest, nightstand and yes, even a coffee table. Plus, it's fully portable and folds down to the size of a regular old paperback, making the idea of moving house a whole lot less daunting and arm-achey than it might have otherwise been.
Right now there's a Kickstarter to help get their mass production off the ground. If you fancy a piece of furniture than can be popped on the bookshelf while you vacuum, there's plenty more information over here.
