Katazukue: the tidy table

A table which likes to huck your stuff. The text reads:
I was interested in the way that we use the same furniture and spaces for different tasks over the course of the day - for example the same table could serve for eating breakfast at, becoming a working desk space during the day and a centre for entertaining friends around during the evening. I was interested in how the table itself could have a role in facilitating this (albeit in a somewhat absurd way). So Katazukue on one level supports our modern lifestyle by clearing itself for different activities during the day, whilst also controlling our activity - it forces us to change what we are doing according to it's whim.
I dunno, sounds like a super frustrating table to have, but funny nonetheless.
