The modular table program from AVEA is based on a special mechanism designed just for Davis by Martin Ballendat. Rather than offering a typical folding table leg, this mechanism allows for the leg to be removed (with no tools) and stored on a cart for transportation to a new meeting area or just for storage. The cart stores up to five tables, ten legs, and accessories.
The AVEA table cores are constructed of a balsa core, which makes the tables extremely lightweight and perfect for reconfiguring or placing tops on the cart for storage. Anodized aluminum legs are joined together with a cast aluminum cap that is used as the connecting element that locks into the mechanism in the same fashion as a ski boot clips into a ski. A simple turn of the knob clockwise will release the leg. Tables may also be ordered with fixed legs if tables will not be stored, which will help meet many budget parameters.
