Lift-Top Coffee Table

Two independent lift-top panels rise asymmetrically on gas pistons, turning part of the surface into a laptop or dining-height desk while the rest stays low for a cup or a book. Each top holds its position, so you can configure the table to the way you’re using it.

Underneath, hidden storage keeps remotes, magazines and throws out of sight but within reach. Solid white oak frame with plywood box and tops in the same species, finished with a natural oil that brings out the grain and deepens with age.
