cantilever table with folding paper base
cantilever table with folding paper base
cantilever table was designed with collaborative workspaces and events in mind. The flat-pack base uses flexible honeycomb geometry to fan open and connect to itself via magnetic end panels. The round bases are made from paper or textile, and paired with a tabletop made from PaperStone® or Carrara marble.
the brown and blue paper table bases are made from wood harvested from Forest Stewardship Council® Certified (FSC® C158591) responsible sources and coated with a non-toxic fire retardant. The white and aluminum textile folding table bases are a nonwoven polyethylene that is water- and tear-resistant. Both materials are recyclable.
PaperStone tops unify the system’s materiality by pairing the folding bases with a thin, lightweight, durable surface that has the warm feel of hardwood yet is made from compressed FSC® certified paper and resin. The tabletops are available in two styles—with or without a central hole. The version with a hole comes with a multifunctional glass centrepiece that acts as a pencil holder and spindle for a stack of paper sketching circles. The circular sheets of paper revolve around the pencil holder to share and develop thoughts around the table. When used for a dining table, the sketching circles can be removed, and the glass centrepiece can be used for chopsticks or as a flower vase.
molo also offers the folding base on its own as an opportunity to share the design process, encouraging clients to pair the bases with tabletops made from local materials. To discuss your idea or request a marble tabletop, please contact the studio.

folding table
following an event or collaborative coworking session, the paper table collapses flat for easy storage and transport, returning flexible space to its surroundings.
PaperStone® table tops
PaperStone is a Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certified hardwood-like, durable, non-brittle composite panel pressed from resin and post-consumer recycled paper and cardboard.
warm to the touch like wood, with a hardness similar to stone, PaperStone® is certified food safe by NSF International and Class A fire rated. Table tops are finished with flat/matte UNICLEAR™ 15-sheen post-catalyzed topcoat.
sketching paper
a twist on the office whiteboard, sketching circles add tactile engagement to the collaboration process. As sheets spin around the table, ideas develop and grow. sketching circles are 20” (50.8cm) in diameter and include 400 sheets of paper per package.
sketching circles can be purchased with the table above or separately.
glass vase
by removing a wood insert, the two-part glass pencil holder is given extra depth to be used as a flower vase.
modular table tops
This is a modular system of 60-degree wedge tops that pairs with the flexible bases to form varied serpentine and circular configurations. Available soon, please contact [email protected] to inquire.
