The inspiration behind what became
the world's leading folding table system

Darren Buttle
CEO Muzo
Muzo CEO Darren Buttle was approached by a client in the UK who was looking for a multifunctional folding-table system. It appeared that none of the options available on the market suited their needs.
By understanding the difficulties that users were having with their current meeting tables, Darren and his team at Muzo were able to frame key objectives for a new reconfigurable folding table design:
​
1 — An ability to be easily handled by just one person
2 — The flexibility to create a range of configurations in terms of shape and scale, and to support a variety of activities and situations
3 — Ease of movement and storage
Muzo took the design brief a step further by recognising other common failures that we could address. So often with 'adaptable furniture' you are forced to sacrifice one feature in order to achieve another. Folding design frames often result in compromising strength and durability. Robust designs often result in compromising mobility. Multiple configurations almost always compromise equality between people and groups.
