Pop-up Tableware (by Katinka Versendaal)

 

Katinka Versendaal uses a 180-degree pop-up technique to create a series of tableware that folds away when not in use.

A table lamp, two candlestick holders and a fruit bowl that pop up into action when needed are inspired by Escher, an artist who was a master of distorting and transforming reality.

When not needed, the pieces fold flat into plain white rectangles. Then, when needed, voila: You’ve got all the necessary pieces for entertaining.
