Subeybaja, Spanish for up-and-down, is a round oak table that changes its height in seven steps. One piece of furniture moves from coffee table to dining table with a single lever.
The Design Story
British designers Robert Heritage and Roger Webb created Subeybaja in 1979. It was first produced by Disform, a Barcelona editing company that closed in 1998, and Santa & Cole regards it as the best legacy of that catalog. The articulated legs fold and lock through a smart mechanism, and the lever is signaled only by a small white point on the tabletop. The 100 cm top is made in oak, finished natural or black. It is a rare piece of furniture that is both a design object and a quiet piece of engineering.
About the Designers
British designers Robert Heritage and Roger Webb created the height-adjustable Subeybaja table, reissued by Santa & Cole.
Why You'll Love It
- Seven heights from 39 to 72 cm (15.3 to 28.3 in)
- A 1979 design by Robert Heritage and Roger Webb
- Oak top and structure in natural or black
- 100 cm (39.4 in) round top seats four at dining height
- Lever hidden behind a single white dot
Made for Real Life
In practice it lives low by the sofa most days and rises for dinner or a game. The oak wears in gracefully and the mechanism is operated from the top, so there is no crawling underneath. It carries up to 20 kg (44 lb), so it is for everyday use rather than heavy loads. Wipe the oak with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it at once. Use coasters and mats under hot or wet items, and keep it out of strong direct sun.
