LEM Adjusting Table

Andries + Hiroko Van Onck

The LEM Table, designed by Andries and Hiroko Van Onck for Magis in 1985, is a versatile height-adjustable table defined by its precise mechanism and restrained geometric form. Its innovative lifting system allows the tabletop to move continuously between coffee table (44cm) and dining height (74cm), adapting effortlessly to different uses. With its clean lines, functional construction, and considered proportions, the LEM Table represents the designers’ approach to combining technical ingenuity with everyday practicality. A significant example of Italian industrial design from the 1980s, it remains valued for its adaptability and enduring formal clarity.
