Big Click: A Multifunctional Table for Space Optimization

Ari Korolainen's Innovative Design Solution

Many people find themselves in situations where rooms are small, and traditional big tables take up too much space. This can make the room feel cramped and limit the functionality of the space. Big Click addresses this issue by providing users with the flexibility to choose between more room space or more table space, depending on their needs.

What sets Big Click apart is its hidden levels that are cleverly integrated into the table's construction. The table features a top level where users can work or eat comfortably. However, when additional space is required, such as for accommodating children or hosting guests, users can simply push gently on the edge of the lowest level, causing it to slide out effortlessly. This action instantly doubles the available surface area. And if even more space is needed, users can push the edge on the opposite side of the table to reveal a third level, tripling the available space.

Big Click is not only a space-saving solution but also a versatile piece of furniture. It can be used as a working table or a dining table, adapting to the user's needs and preferences. The table's main material is wood, and the surface can be painted or waxed to seamlessly blend with the surrounding space. The levels are placed inside the construction and move in and out easily thanks to a metal sliding system.

When closed, Big Click measures 450 x 1310 x 750 mm. However, when opened, it expands to 1150 x 1310 x 750 mm, providing ample space for various activities. This compact yet expandable design makes it an ideal choice for small apartments, offices, or any space-conscious environment.
