What is it?
A room divider that houses chairs; a rug that contains a pop-up table and lamp.

What makes this design different or better?
Sideline enhances the living space with the wonder of discovery. The sideline flooring and wall allow the disposition of a room to be determined by the occupant rather than prescribed by architect or prevailing convention. There is no "dining room" here, but rather a stage, hushed, expectant, awaiting the player's device. The elimination of clutter maximizes the utility of the space, while the soft inviting fabrics counter any austerity.

Inherent in the room's use is discovery, choice, chance, a lively interaction. Removing a chair from the wall produces a place to sit. Unexpectedly, in its wake, in the negative footprint left in the wall, a doorway is formed, or a window, or Pantonesque seating nook. Springing the table from the floorcovering launches surprise and dimension as well as a platform at which to gather or sit. With magical legerdemain the "tab" that is pulled to lift the table becomes a lamp and introducing light, shadow, depth.

Rather than demarking finite limits of use and space, the sideline wall and flooring are vertical and horizontal proscenia that establish a threshold to wonder.
