Jupe Style Expanding Table

Built by Renaissance Custom Furniture

This custom table was built to go on a yacht. It was designed to save space and to fit on an existing base. The style, wood, and finish were chosen by the client. Thanks for watching!

  • Really neat, but why are the external pieces numbered? Shouldn't they all be equal?

  • @tith11

    They are equal and were interchangeable until a certain step in the build. The dart leaves needed pins on the bottom to keep them from sliding around as the table was expanded.These pins had to line up exactly so before we veneered the leaves we placed them all in position, clamped them in place and drilled through the leaves into the sub frame. Doing it this way ensured the pins aligned perfectly with the holes, but it also made each leaf specific for its position, hence the numbers.

  • hey, im an industrial designer and allow me to give u some constructive criticism... you have too many pieces to assemble to get to the final result. basically the reality is the consumer is lazy, reduce the steps one needs to take. otherwise, cool mechanism...

  • @omaromari

    This was a custom table built to the client's specifications. There were a lot of things that I would do differently if I was building the table for myself or to mass produce, but the reality of the situation is that in custom work, the client gets exactly what the client wants and my opinion doesn't matter.

  • i think the pie style pieces shouldve been maple and the arrow type ones shouldve been cherry or ebony or something with contrast.

  • @iPodOperator

    Yeah, that would have been nice.  The client wanted Koto to match the paneling in the room the table was going in.
