Life Desk by Haishan Deng

Chinese industrial designer Haishan Deng has created the Life Desk table which is aimed at saving people lives in time when earthquake strikes. The Life Desk uses the physics of the “Triangle of Life”. It is open for learning during regular times, and closed for danger during times of trouble. The main structure is high strength steel and nylon board, while the side structure is molten steel molded round to disperse stress.
