Contemporary-style folding tables & Nordic designers

If optimising space is your main challenge and making room to gather your loved ones around a good meal seems impossible, here is a miracle solution: the folding table!

Practical and attractive, this furniture saves a considerable amount of space in your home. Popular with students, this type of piece is now finding its way into every household: endlessly versatile, it can serve as a high table, a desk, an additional work surface in your kitchen, or even a side table for your living room or dining room.

If your children have left the nest and come to visit you for big family meals, go for the large folding tables in this lovely selection. Just like an extending table, this folding furniture lets you enjoy a small table day to day, and when your guests arrive you simply unfold it to celebrate the occasion around a generous table. Now you no longer have enough chairs for your guests? There are plenty of solutions: think of folding chairs and folding stools, which save precious space in your home.

The Cool Republic recommends this functional furniture to gain space with complete ease in any room of your home. All the models in our selection have one thing in common: they are easy to fold. Folding tables open and close quickly, with no effort required. The ultimate dream for all fans of tidy storage and minimalism.

There are various types for indoor use. Discover wall-mounted tables, to be fitted directly onto a wall in a kitchen or a studio flat, for example. These feature a modular top that you simply open and close as you wish, and some have integrated legs for perfect stability. The advantage of the wall-mounted table: you can position it at the height of your choice. Anyone can use it. Dimensions, colours and shapes also vary, with rectangular, round or even square tables, for instance.

The models selected by the Cool Team will undoubtedly help you track down the piece of furniture that meets all your criteria in terms of the depth, height and width you are looking for. The brands we have chosen are committed to designing furniture that combines both the practical and the aesthetic side of the world of interior design.

It is up to you to decide on the width and depth you need according to the constraints of your living space. Feel free to pair this compact piece with one of their folding chairs from the same range.
