Capstan Expanding and Contracting Table
Designed by British furniture designer David Fletcher, Capstan Table doubles its seating capacity, from six to twelve, at the push of a button. Astonishingly it remains truly circular in the process. The mechanism was described as ‘pure magic’ by Boat International magazine; fast and impressive, taking only seconds to fully expand or contract. It is made on commission for wealthy clients who, apparently, mostly want to install them in their yachts.

Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
