by springtime. The design of UNFOLDING is based on four different themes. The themes include the integration of small elements to create something bigger, the use of sensational textures and hidden accents and creating a light appearance. In this booklet the themes will be further described and accompanied by poems and pictures.

Everywhere I look, small blossoms are unfolding. The world is spreading its wings, together we are one.
SMALL ELEMENTS In springtime small creatures with big potential grow into something substantial. • Small elements of the teatable are combined to form a strong and bold shape, like the flowerbuds in spring. • The elements of the teatable are joyful and playful like the first flowers.

Easy assembly of the UNFOLDING teatable.
1. Check whether all three elements (2 wooden elements for the frame and 1 perspex tabletop) are in the box.
2. Slide the two wooden elements into eachother on the marked line.
A. Without the integration of all three elements, the table will be unstable and fall apart.
3. Put the perspex tabletop on the wooden frame and check whether the holes fit onto the wooden frame.
B. The three seperate small elements together form a strong and stable teatable.
4. Enjoy your UNFOLDING teatable!

One specific day in the year, the whole world is awakening, with sunny colours, fresh smells and joyful sounds. Like the pheonix, it rises from it’s ashes. That special day in May, small creatures with big potential, grow into something substantial. And the bird is singing: springtime is coming!
SENSATIONAL TEXTURES All the springtime flowers and leaves brighten up our life with their different textures. • Different materials and textures are combined in the teatable to stimulate the tactile senses. • A combination of warm soft woods and cold smooth perspex is used to encourage the senses.

The leaves are still small, hidden in the warmth of the earth. The flower will rise and grow, you will see it soon. But for now, this is exactly enough.
HIDDEN ACCENTS In springtime the flowers are still hidden in the flowerbud and the leaves are still hidden in the ground. • Colourful accents of the teatable are hidden like the flowerbuds in spring. • An abundance of playful greens and accents of blossomy pinks are used.
