The idea for a multifunctional table was born when Richard J. Neutra watched a camel sitting down. This version of his dual-height design was created for the Logar House in 1951. By swiveling the steel tube legs, it converts in seconds from a sleek coffee table to a full-height dining table. Most of the subsequent clients bought two: one as their regular dining table, the other to extend it when entertaining larger numbers of guests.
