Growth Table Turns Homework and Craft Time Into Family Affair

Irwin Weiner ASID - Such a Family Fun idea! I admit that I'm sometimes late in discovering certain design innovations - there are always so many, I'm bound to fall behind - but I just had to share something cute as a button with you: the Growth Table by designers Tim Durfee and Iris Anna Regn.

Made from marine plywood and bolted together, it's a system of graduated-height desk/work surfaces and benches that accommodate humans of different ages and heights. Adults down to youngsters can have fun working and playing together, and wouldn't this be ideal for home schooling?
