We all know that sitting down at the table over dinner has always been one of the best ways for the family to bond and connect. However, these days no one has the time to sit down for a family dinner. Turkish designer Fatih Can Sarıöz, however, feels that the concept needs to be revived and hence deals with the theme in his special dinner furniture. Dubbed as Kure, it is designed like a flower that opens up to a full-fledged dinning table. Shaped as a sphere when closed, it can occupy any corner of the house. And only when the sun sets down, you can bring Kure to life. Fitted with a light source in the center, the base too glows with blue light.
Usability:
The pod-like form accommodates six dinning chairs which can also also be used otherwise. An alternative set of furniture that aims to bring the whole family together at meal times, Kure doesn’t really help to save space. The sphere seems to occupy almost equal room when closed or in use.

I loved this design. Its love at first sight! Even if it does not save too much space, but the whole unit looks superb. And the lights in top and bottom adds to the beauty. Though looking at the chairs, I feel they may be a bit uncomfortable, nevertheless, I would buy this for my family!
And like you have mentioned, I absolutely and 100% believe that family that eats together stays together, and what better place to bond than dinner table :)
Thanks for your good tastes=)

I don’t know. It doesn’t seem a very family friendly seating arrangement to have a thick lamp at the middle of the table.
