Pivot is a compact, modular low table designed for young adults living in small or temporary spaces. It is intended for people living in apartments or studio spaces with limited room for furniture, but still enjoy casually hosting friends. The table can serve multiple purposes, from a workspace to a dining surface.

Because Pivot is a low table, it can be comfortably used for gathering even without additional chairs, making it ideal for informal hosting. Its flexible design allows it to fit easily into small spaces and function in either its collapsed or expanded form.

The tabletop rotates inward to reduce the table to about half its size, allowing it to sit neatly against a wall and conserve space. When more surface area is needed, the table can be expanded by lifting the upper tabletop and rotating it until it falls into place. This simple pivoting motion transforms the table into a larger surface for working, dining, or socializing.
