The HQ Multifunctional Table

The HQ Multifunctional Table is an innovative furniture design that exemplifies the evolution of contemporary living spaces in response to changing work-life dynamics. This versatile piece seamlessly transitions between a dining table and an office desk, featuring a removable divider screen that enables multiple users to work simultaneously while maintaining personal space. Crafted from eco-friendly Ecoboard, also known as Wheatboard, the table represents a sustainable approach to furniture manufacturing, utilizing 100% natural wheat straw derived from agricultural by-products. The design employs sophisticated tongue and groove joinery, eliminating the need for traditional fasteners while facilitating easy assembly. Distinguished by its dimensions of 1778mm x 1016mm x 762mm, the table incorporates thoughtful features including integrated storage compartments for office supplies, cable management solutions, and a specialized magnetic paint finish that enables note posting. The surface treatment creates an ombre effect, adding visual interest while maintaining functionality. Designed by Nora Voon and team during the global pandemic, this Bronze A' Design Award-winning creation in the Furniture Design category addresses the contemporary challenges of hybrid living spaces. The table accommodates up to six diners or multiple workstations, making it particularly suitable for urban dwellings where space optimization is crucial. Available in vibrant colorways including Teal, Hot Pink, and Neon Yellow, the design combines practical functionality with aesthetic appeal, shipping as a flat-pack solution that embodies principles of sustainable design, user-centered functionality, and modern manufacturing techniques.
