Musical instruments are a noble and original source of inspiration for modern design. This accordion-inspired Homework Table, designed by Nika Zupanc is a relevant example. Seemingly a common, minimalist table at a first glance, this furniture item has a special feature hidden within. By turning a side handle, accordion folders come out of the table top and reveal plenty of storage options for various office objects.

Ballerina-Inspired Giselle Lounge Table From Russia
