Big Click: A Multifunctional Table for Space Optimization

Ari Korolainen's Innovative Design Solution

Big Click is a unique and multifunctional table designed by Ari Korolainen that aims to optimize space utilization in small rooms. With its clever design, this table offers a practical solution for those who need a table for only a short period each day.

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.

Ari Korolainen's Big Click has garnered attention for its clean and architectural design, surprising functionality, and innovative approach to space optimization. It offers a practical and aesthetically pleasing solution for those seeking to maximize the potential of their living or working spaces.

Studio Teemu Töyrylä, Finland, has captured the essence of Big Click through their stunning photography, showcasing the table's unique features and design details.

In recognition of its excellence, Big Click was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2016. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. Big Click's integration of industry best practices, competent technical characteristics, and its contribution to a better world have earned it this esteemed accolade.
