8 Best Folding Coffee Tables for Small Spaces

Folding coffee tables are pretty genius. You can save room in your tiny studio apartment, or living room where you just don’t want a permanent coffee table.

Then when you have guests over, boom, pull out the folding coffee table, add on a few books and decorations, and it’s the perfect furniture piece to bring the room together.

There are a lot of different ways to fold a coffee table – more than we imagined. You have everything from the standard split down the middle folding table, all the way to some wacky origami collapsing contraption (scroll to the bottom to see what we mean!).

These mini coffee tables mostly come in wood, but there are a few variations like the faux leather ottoman one below that also folds. The shapes are typically rectangular, but you’ll find one oval table that’s perfect to break up any hard geometric shapes in the room that need a bit of curvature added. The 2-tier metal side table is pretty cool, with the bottom shelf good for storage or items not in use.

Buying one of these tables as a gift for a loved one? It’s not a bad idea if they need to save space and you want to get them a unique gift.

7. Rising Table

Dutch designer Robert van Embricqs has created the Rising Table. The concept of the table is a part of the Rising…furniture formula which finds its roots in the Rising Chair we featured here before. The design is based on a rather simple idea of starting with a flat surface that is capable of transforming into a piece of stylishly designed furniture.

This one is just so cool. It’s like a piece of art, no matter what stage it’s in, very origami-like.

Grand Central is an innovative transformable table that folds out like an origami flower from a space-saving occasional table to the central piece of the room. Designed by Swedish designers Sanna Lindstrom and Sigrid Strogren, the tabletop is divided into 22 pieces that fold out beautifully to become the surface area of a circular table and when not needed folds back to save space. Check out the pictures.
