A flip-top console from Four Hands that holds a long, narrow profile against the wall and opens into a full table when company arrives. The top and legs are solid ash with a light toasted finish, joined with mortise and tenon, and a pair of butterfly leaves fold out from the top and store themselves within it. Inset hinges keep the seams clean, and iron hardware carries the weight of the hinged leaves.
The flip-top form comes from old refectory and breadboard tables, and this version keeps the idea while trimming the fuss. Routed detailing on the legs gives the straight-sided frame a quiet, sculpted edge, and the pale grain reads warm without going orange. Antique brass notes in the hardware sit well beside plaster walls, dark lacquer, or a wall of framed prints.
Keep it closed in an entry hall or behind a sofa with a lamp, a tray, and a stack of books on top. Open one side for a desk or buffet, or both for a dinner table that seats a crowd and disappears again the next morning. It suits a living room, a dining room that needs to flex, or a long wall that has been waiting for a piece with some range.
