The W* House / Tabletop

'Flip Flap Fold' table runner

Margrethe Odgaard / Danish Crafts

£1,075

Dining table centerpieces that err on the safe side of posies of flowers and candles can stop a soiree dead in its tracks even before the canapes are served. Happily for us, the Danish textile designer and Rhode Island School of Design alum Margrethe Odgaard has the solution for pulling off a great dinner party every time. What looks like an innocuous stack of triangular-fold napkins pulls out like an origami fan into a three-dimensional table runner. The resulting shape varies in endless permutations depending on how much you unfold the 400cm length of sugar-starched cotton. Available in pink, green and blue, we dare say you'll have the whole table talking and in a good way.
