Geometric table.
Ok, so that's not the table in the photo, it's the elements of a table. You organize and then hinge the elements to create tables. Six elements make a cube, three makes a coffee table. Per it's creator Greg Blonder, "the top and bottom facets (which form the bases when assemble into a coffee table) are edged by a triangular lip. A matching triangular notch on the rim of the hinged facets locks the pieces securely into a cube, yet simply lifts apart for reassembly. When assembled as a coffee table, gravity holds the top to the base.". The cube is 22" assembled and the coffee table is 11.5" high. Why Talus? The eroded pile of rubble at the base of a mountain is called the "talus", and the sloped surface of the talus pile is harmoniously called the "angle of repose".

The Talus Meander. "The four polygonal prisms are hinged together by four zippers. Any zipper can be fully separated, allowing the meander to swing into a new position.".
