I’m not sure how to make this post feel like anything other than an ad for Calligaris‘s new Orbital table but I’m so taken with the demo video that I can’t resist posting it. With a gentle nudge the pivoting mechanism — designed by Pininfarina, the renowned design and engineering company behind Ferrai, Maserati and Alfa Romeo — expands or contracts the sleek glass, steel and polyurethane table. The Orbital, which retails in Canada for $7,833, recently won a German Interior Innovation Award. This is one sexy dining table.

Fascinating mechanism and the pedestal super sexy but IMHO too good looking to blend with an industrial scheme and a tad too trendy looking to be considered transitional so I’m gonna save my 7-8 K for a Maserati ;)
Thanks for bringing the goods to light Chris.

There is a similar “cofee table” Roche Bobois. Cheers Sue

I love furniture like this as it is very functional for both the condo dweller and suburbanite. As you can’t buy a Maserati for $7k this might be in the running. Do you know any retailers that are planning to carry it?

Hi Julie,
Here’s a link to the Calligaris retail locator. The link in the post is specifically for the Toronto store.
