What's this?
-
Great suggestions TIG. I will play around with those.

Hey Mike, I got to thinking about the seat back problem, and this is something I came up with.
Adding the extra layer would let you increase the thickness of the seat back. This could also work with the wooden dowels.
Probably not the look you were going for, with all the curves, I just started having fun with it
But you get the ideaAnyhow, just an idea.

That works Steve, well done
I am moving towards doing even a more straightforward design that doesn't involve curved plywood.
This is great as it turning into a collaboration

A square table and 4 square chairs ?
-
Now there's an idea
-
The Sqhair
Economical on material too.
Simply table-sawn and router rounded-corners etc as needed etc.
The table can use a simple foot-operated bottle-jack mechanism to lift it up and on release lower down.
The storage under the seats is set back a little to avoid heel-clashes.
The seat-back half 'L' slides up/down on dado friction glides [à la draw-slides] with a catch to it lock 'up' ?
When the seats are removed from the assembly they are set around the table at 45 degrees on the sides of the square. The seats are on castors.
-
Nice, but those seat-backs don't look very comfortable
-
Now we are getting places.
TIG, would that table have a bit of wobble potential? Also I think Steve might be right about the backs not being too comfy.
Have you a pic of a 'foot-operated bottle-jack mechanism'? I'm curious about that.
I'm not so sure about the seats being on casters but they could be lockable. I think slides might work better.
-
An octagonal shape applied to TIG's design would sort out the seat backs.
-
-
One possible solution to the seat-back
Sorta looks like a toilet with the seat folded down
-
Maybe a couple of padded armrests for comfort (they could flip up for extra storage)
-
Nice render Pete. But that a full size table. We are trying to figure out a dual coffee / dining table.
Steve, yep! It does look like a commode ..... maybe an idea?
-
When the meal is just too good to interrupt.....
-
-
...... now a sound proof private curtain
-
Some cultures consider it a compliment to the cook when you belch at the table. This just takes the compliment to a whole new level.
-
.....may as well go the full hog and build in an air extractor
-

Here's v3 - it has a more logical base made from swastika dado lapped 'base-feet' and a simpler back made form the same thickness foam as the seat...
