KiBiSi’s Xtable is adjusted by hand crank

using kinetic power instead of electricity, the height of ‘Xtable’ is adjusted manually via a hand crank saving energy and keeping users active. developed by danish interdisciplinary studio KiBiSi for furniture brand holmris, the technical features of the design are all integrated within its table top. the folding X component which aids in extending and collapsing the desk’s height is based-off mechanical principals typically used in carjacks and ironing boards, making it easy to accommodate various working positions. ‘Xtable’ is accompanied by an storage box unit which moves on wheels, allowing one to put unnecessary items not in use, out of the way.
