Inspired by Theo Jansen’s Strandbeest sculptures, the Carpentopod features a linkage system that is more compact and specialized.

Legs’ tips move horizontally during the lowest part of their cycle, working together in coordinated sets of three to provide stability.

With six legs on either side, powered by two motors, the table has the dexterity to turn on a dime, like a tank steering its treads.

Wooden body of the table made from laminated bamboo and shaped like upside down treasure chest houses the motors, electronics, and battery.
