SHAPE
The Cat in Bag ii Table is part of a series of
three tables that are designed to be modified in
shape. Like its cousins the Cat in Bag i and Cat
in Bag iii, the end of its table legs can be
pushed and pulled in and out from the rota-
tional frame at the center of the table. This
changing shape doesn’t necessarily transform
the inherent function of the table, but it can tai-
lor the table to the configuration of its sur-
roundings.

Modular transformation affects the dimensions
and the quantity of a defined cell. This defini-
tion is employed most simply by the Open Stor-
age Unit, to subdivide outer dimension into a
specific module of shelves and dividers. For the
Cellular Screen, the cell size and quantity can
be defined to yield multiple screen options. The
modular definition allows a larger dimension to
be subdivided into cells, or a larger object to
result from the aggregation of cells with a spe-
cific dimension.
