Samuel Botero's comment regarding this piece: "A simple mechanism which is also the design element of this table takes it from a small dining table to a cocktail table by a mere twist of the top. It is brilliant in it’s simplicity and beauty. This is really form and function at it’s best. I am please that you do not push a button to make it go."
