Attachable Swing-away table

Comfort and functionality meet with the Ergo-table for bed

Using a laptop or similar devices in the comfort of your own bed can be a challenge. Placing them directly on the bed sheets can trap heat and pose a fire hazard, while finding a suitable flat surface and maintaining a comfortable posture can be difficult. Traditional fixed tables may take up space and not be ergonomically inclined. That's where the Ergo-table for bed, designed by Ivan Paul Abanilla, comes in.

The Ergo-table for bed is a unique and innovative solution that allows users to comfortably use their devices in bed. The table is designed to rotate in a certain angle, fitting perfectly under the bed to maximize space. It also features a swivel mechanism that allows the tablet to rotate in two planar axes, providing easy access and adaptability.

One of the standout features of the Ergo-table for bed is its disabled-friendly design. The table aids users without requiring any lifting, making it accessible and convenient for everyone. Additionally, the table is ergonomically inclined, allowing users to maintain a comfortable posture while the tablet swings towards them, providing a proper mounting surface and avoiding strain on the lap.

The Ergo-table for bed is made using a combination of metal hollow sections with enamel coating for the structure and attached clamp. The hinge mechanism and table support are made of rigid steel components, while certain rod supports are made of aluminum cast material. The tablet itself can be made of wood finished veneer or molded polymer material, with the option of using sustainable materials.

With the Ergo-table for bed, users can enjoy the convenience of using their devices in bed without compromising on comfort or safety. Its unique design and functionality make it a standout piece of furniture that enhances the lifestyle of its users.

The Ergo-table for bed was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2013 for its outstanding and creatively ingenious design. This prestigious award recognizes designs that incorporate best practices in art, science, design, and technology, contributing to quality of life improvements and making the world a better place.
