Yacht Ilona Table

[t4or4in]

waduhh,,mejane canggih men kwe ....neng indo tah urung ana yahhh?????,,,,I am sorry,,komenku ra nyambung,,,I now,,tidak bs speak english,,

[NightSord]

hmm!!! i would love to figure that out and make it in my Garage ! ;) i'll post even a video here when am done =)

[pkacc1]

Can you imagine getting your nuts caught in that thing?

[jaydenfre2413]

Designed to pinch the sh1t out of your fingers

[hosjek]

you should see the yacht that it's on...

[muell0815]

and now, place a walnut in the middle of the table and turn it smaller!

[jackkjack]

how much?

50 grand?

[walter0bz]

he wanted to design docking bay for moon-base but couldn't get into NASA so instead adapted design into a table

[aseq2]

It says in your description that the table remains completely circular, but I don't see how that's possible. Surely the 6 pie pieces have a 360 degree arc between them, so the extra strips would have to have 0 curvature. It's close enough to a circle, but it isn't one. Amirite?

[MissingFet]

OH MY FUCKING WORD, that table is actually so fucking awesome, and your Questioning the fact that it remains a "CIRCLE" or not... just fuck off already. my word. what a chop

[aseq2]

Hey tardboy, amirite or not? I'm not saying the thing isn't awesome, I'd fucking love to own one...but it shouldn't mention this if it isn't true. You go missing, Fet... fucking wanker.

[MissingFet]

Splitting Hairs Pilloc!

no point but pretty damn awesome

Sweet~

where do you get a table like this from? how much? i would like to give it as a wedding gift for my sister.

[agfsgfsdgv]

The large Capstan tables like this cost about $95,000

[lorincziroli]

simplicity?...i all of you say "that much money 4 something this simple..." and "the design elements aren't really that difficult to make this table" and stuff like these...well lemme tell you something:i wanna make a table like this for myself...and i', stuck at the design...HOW DO YOU MAKE IT BE A PERFECT CIRCLE AND STAY A PERFECT CIRCLE WHEN IT EXPANDS???it's impossible :|...yet its there.the circles bending is larger when small so when expanded it should bend to maintain its circlular form.

[oingofan]

Actually, it is simple. The kinematics are pretty obvious.  Hint...it's not a perfect circle...

[lorincziroli]

if the whole design and functioning of this table is "simple" then please send me an e-mail...with pictures and explanation(the quality doesn't matter...you can even draw in paint)just...explain the mechanism and everything of this "simple" table...if you can.....

[oingofan]

If you had asked nicely I would have, gladly. I've just recently finished the design on AutoCAD and will start cutting mechanisms/wood within a couple of weeks. Buddy, you have noooo idea who you're trying to spar with...PS, it involves a PhD in engineering with a concentration (undergrad and grad) in kinematics, dynamics and solid mechanics...I'm done with you condescending ass. Go away, please...

[DallasCustomFurnitur]

I love this table. It's memorizing watching it expand. I know the design elements aren't really that difficult to make this table, but still the simplicity of the design make for a beautiful and complex presentation.

Plus the finish is nice! :)

[MorseownedPWANGE]

i got 1 just like it

[stuntmanquad]

attention les doigts!

[poudreblanche]

Bravo. je vais en installer une sur mon yatch.

[konidair]

Amazing work!

The table is perfectly round when expanded.When closed,due to the different radius,it isn't perfectly round but if you notice there is an special shaped ring that covers the external part,giving a perfectly round shape!U can see it better if u visit the productor's site and have look at the photos!Really genious

[HeathS]

3) I take issue with the statement that the table "remains perfectly round," as this would mean the radius of the edges of the pie shapes would have to actually morph as the table opens up. The table needs to be slightly less than perfectly round before it opens up, or after. My guess is that the actual radius on the parts is averaged between the two states.

Hi there,i've noticed this statement too...i think when the table is expanded it is perfectly round.unfortunately the video quality is poor but if you go to the 19th second of the video u can notice that when the table is about to open it isn't completely round.The solution(in my opinion)is that external ring that comes up at the end of the closing fase, covers this imperfection and gives a perfectly round shape even when the table is closed

[HeathS]

1) Amazing work of engineering and craftsmanship

2) As for price, their website says about $50,000 to $70,000, which actually sounds about right for something sold in few numbers with that much intricate engineering. Remember that things like cars are only affordable because so many are built (efficiencies of mass production). These are essentially custom works.

@HeathS Plus its like art in motion :)

[OkazLNS]

cool table

[chigtychek]

awesomeness... it makes me wonder how much something like that costs. I would guess over 10k....

[fredric6664]

awsome, that would be an awsome thing to have!!

[sharkhead7854]

hahahahaha yeah id watch your fingers around that thing!!! cool idea though!

[artfuldown]

WOW! Where have I been. These designers are ingenius

artists. Beautiful design but it looks like it willrelieve you of one of your fingers if you get careless.

[magnus3994]

that is the coolest table ever!
