The story of DTable started in 1986 when architect David Ben-Grunberg and his father Maty Grunberg of UK-based The DHaus Company stumbled upon the age-old mathematical formula, produced by mathematician Henry Ernest Dudeney. In 1903, the English mathematician worked out a formula on how to turn a perfect square into a perfect equilateral triangle. He figured out a way to dissect a square into four pieces that can be rearranged to form a triangle. This father-and-son duo experimented with the same formula and created the exceptional DTable.
The reincarnated DTable Deco is designed in Paris and prototyped in London by Base Models. The unique furniture piece has a complicated yet flexible design with eight configurations, transforming from a simple square to an equiletral triangle. Serving multipurpose uses, it could be a preferable seating, a spacious storage box (in the square form) to hide away all your day-to-day clutter, or an eye-catching element in your living room.
The DTable Deco is built to be exceptionally adaptive and playful, blending seamlessly in various environments. With its peculiar style and configuration, there’s an element of play and fun. Along with that, its adaptive quality and variations make it a great choice for a variety of events and spaces ranging from personal to professional.
Interestingly, each part is manually detachable with removable hinges, so that it can be used as a stand-alone piece or as a complete unit. The table is like a 3D puzzle that triggers the imagination and intrigues the curiosity among the users.
The first iteration of the table that DHaus manufactured in Denmark was sold as a fully assembled piece at an exorbitant price. This time, the studio designed a low-cost, flat-pack version of the DTable dubbed DTable Deco, Deco Hack, and Deco Green Goblin to ease transportability with wheels at the base.

These are high-end prototypes for now that will hopefully be manufactured with various customized surfaces. For example, the Deco Hack is integrated with a vinyl player, Bluetooth speaker, wireless charger, alarm clock, and bottle opener. Thus making it the perfect collectible item for music and tech lovers. The Deco Green Goblin on the other hand comes with a speckled top.
The Green Goblin is made entirely from recycled materials using Douglas fir timber, plywood for the surfaces and hardwood for the structure. This year DHaus will present the DTable Deco, Deco Hack and Deco Green Goblin at the Paris Design Week from 5th September to 14th September, 2024.
