Macaroon Tea Table: Multifunctional Design Inspired by Dessert

Elegant, rotatable layers offer storage and style for modern homes

Inspired by the iconic French dessert, the Macaroon Tea Table by Xiaobin Wu and Guoliang Wen combines playful aesthetics with practical innovation, redefining multifunctional furniture for contemporary living spaces.

The Macaroon Tea Table draws its inspiration from the delicate layers and inviting appearance of the macaroon dessert. Its rounded silhouette and soft visual impression are designed to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere in any home. The table’s three-layer rotatable structure mirrors the dessert’s clear hierarchy, offering both visual delight and functional versatility. This thoughtful design approach addresses the growing need for adaptable furniture in modern, space-conscious interiors.

What sets the Macaroon Tea Table apart is its unique ability to transform through simple rotation. When stacked, the middle layer serves as a discreet storage compartment, while extending the layers converts the piece into a two-tiered table. This flexibility allows the table to adapt to various scenarios, from casual gatherings to organized storage. The rounded edges and sleek lines not only enhance its aesthetic appeal but also prioritize user safety, making it suitable for households with children or elderly members.

Crafted from natural oak, the Macaroon Tea Table benefits from a sophisticated sanding process that ensures both durability and a refined finish. The use of environmentally friendly materials underscores a commitment to sustainable living, aligning with global trends toward eco-conscious design. The central axis rotation mechanism is engineered for stability and smooth operation, reflecting meticulous attention to technological performance and user experience.

Designed to fit seamlessly into diverse home environments, the Macaroon Tea Table features a compact size and simple, eco-friendly packaging that is both portable and easy to store. Its multifunctional nature makes it an ideal solution for maximizing utility in limited spaces, while its decorative qualities enhance the overall ambiance of the room. According to research conducted by the designers, the table responds to the evolving demands of urban living, where flexibility and style are equally valued.

The Macaroon Tea Table has been recognized with the Bronze A' Furniture Design Award in 2025, a testament to its creative ingenuity and contribution to quality of life improvements. By merging art, science, and technology, Xiaobin Wu and Guoliang Wen have delivered a piece that not only meets practical needs but also elevates the everyday experience of home living.

With its harmonious blend of playful inspiration, sustainable craftsmanship, and multifunctional design, the Macaroon Tea Table stands as a compelling example of how thoughtful innovation can transform ordinary furniture into an object of delight and utility.
