Lilla Table: A Multifunctional Solution for Small Spaces

Creating a Dynamic Fusion Between a Dining Table and a Desk

The Lilla Table, designed by Jessica Herrera, offers a unique and innovative solution for small living spaces. Inspired by the need for a versatile piece of furniture that can serve as both a dining table and a workspace, the Lilla Table combines functionality with beautiful design.

For many people living in small homes, the dining table often doubles as a workspace. However, this compromise can lead to a lack of storage space and a cluttered living environment. The Lilla Table aims to address these challenges by providing a multifunctional solution that maximizes space efficiency.

One of the key features of the Lilla Table is its split tabletop, which allows for easy storage and retrieval of items. On one side of the table, there is storage space for kitchenware, while on the other side, there are compartments for office supplies. The tabletop is conveniently split in two, making it effortless to access the stored items.

To keep everything organized and in place, the interior of the table is lined with deep felt pockets. These pockets not only provide practical storage solutions but also add a unique aesthetic to the design. The felt lining on the edge of the tabletop serves as a material change and promotes interaction with the table.

The Lilla Table is made from maple wood with a light satin finish, giving it a sleek and modern look. The tabletop is joined with aluminum hinges, ensuring durability and stability. The legs of the table are designed with mortise and tenon joinery, allowing for flat pack shipping and easy assembly.

Designed with small spaces in mind, the Lilla Table measures 1422.4 mm in width, 762 mm in depth, and 812.8 mm in height. Its compact size makes it suitable for apartments, tiny homes, and any space-conscious environment.

The Lilla Table was conceptualized and developed by Jessica Herrera in San Francisco. It was exhibited at Talents Ambiente Messe Frankfurt in 2015, showcasing its innovative design and functionality. The table has received recognition for its excellence and innovation, winning the Silver A' Design Award in 2016.

With its clever design and thoughtful features, the Lilla Table offers a practical and stylish solution for small living spaces. By seamlessly combining a dining table and a desk, it allows individuals to make the most of their limited space without compromising on functionality or aesthetics.
