Designer and architect Reinier de Jong has just released the versatile REK coffee table . The table grows and adapts to your needs. For example, when you’re not entertaining, perhaps you’d like to close it up, but when guests come over, you might want to move the sliding parts outwards to accommodate extra drinks and plates. Or, you can keep the sliding sections and store magazines and other things underneath. Share This: Twitter | Facebook | Discover more great design by following Design Milk on Twitter and Facebook .

Tom Dixon was born in 1959 in Sfax, Tunisia and moved to England when he was four years old. Having been educated in London, and completed a six-month stint at Chelsea Art School, a career in music followed before a motorcycle accident provided him with the time and welding skills that would lead to his design career — a career that has produced some extraordinary designs we’ve come to know and love. Fast-forward a couple of decades, via Habitat, Artek, his own shop, Space, and an OBE for services to design; Tom Dixon the company was born, and the rest, as they say, is history. Chop Rectangle, Chop Long and Chop Paddle, each milled from solid oak with a soft curved edge Tom Dixon was showing for the first time at Maison et Objet this year to launch Eclectic by Tom Dixon, a collection that’s described as “Things that are to play with or give or use everyday, things that are designed and are undesigned, things that are… eclectic.” Clockwise from top left: Hex Bowls, Bash Vessels, Form Bowl Set, Cast Mini Jack Cast Factory, a money box for industrious savers, modeled on a British factory from the Industrial Revolution era, and Cast Shoe, a classic English gentleman’s brogue cast in solid aluminium with a copper plated finish.
