Having a modular table obviously allows you to save interior space. But combining it with another intelligent piece of furniture allows you to save every square centimeter in small spaces, as in the following cases with:
- A convertible sofa: in the open position, your table and your sofa bed serve as the perfect living room. In the closed position, your sofa unfolds to make room for a bed taking up space, but your table, lowered to its lowest level, can disappear by being stored under it.
- A bed cabinet: the table unfolded during the day can be used as a work desk then in the evening accompany a meal tray, to finally disappear under your bed once the bed cabinet is opened.
Good to know: A coffee table does not require specific maintenance, only the finish of the top needs to be taken into account.
