Expandable Coffee Table

Coffee table 
I got the inspiration for this coffee table from an existing table in a magazine, which in the same way used the legs on the small table as an extended table top. The other table had some small foldable table legs in inte expanded position, but I thought that it would be possible to do it in a more elegant way. The result is this table without any unnecessary parts, and the extra table space could be used as a shelf for magazines etc.
The table could expand quite much in length.
A short film describing how the table transform from small to large.
I got my inspiration from this picture, and the sketch on top is my first sketch (in the margin of my lecture notes) on the idea of using the table itself as its legs.
