A Creative Partner for the Any-way Table

A Creative Partner for the Any-way Table

'What more can we do for that one centimetre?'

When we designed the Any-way Table, we introduced a 1cm raised rim to stop toys and crayons from rolling away. It was a small detail that brought a significant sense of ease to the home. But as we watched children use the table for drawing and play, we started to wonder: how else can we utilise this space?
The answer came from observing the messy, joyful reality of a child's creativity. We decided to create a partner for the Any-way Table - a large-scale Drawing Pad designed to fit perfectly within its unique boundaries.

The Perfect Fit

This isn't your typical sketchbook. The Any-way Drawing Pad is shaped to match the 'superellipse' contour of the table exactly. The 3mm thick pad sits securely within the 1cm deep groove of the tabletop.
For the child, this means the paper stays still while they draw. For the parent, it means the raised edge catches any stray pencil strokes before they reach the floor or the table surface, allowing you to step away and focus on your own tasks with peace of mind.

Space for Big Ideas

This is the drawing paper children dream of. Once opened, the pad covers nearly the entire surface of the table - an area roughly equivalent to eight A4 sheets of paper.
When drawing alone, a child might have to walk around the table to fill the page. When a friend or sibling visits, there is more than enough room for both to create a masterpiece together on the same sheet.

Promoting Shared Spaces

The Any-way series has always been about fostering a space where family members can be together while remaining independent. Even with this oversized drawing pad, the table remains a shared territory. While your child is deep in their creative world, the pad can be folded over, leaving space for you to enjoy a coffee or catch up on a book at the same table.

Easy Storage

For children, drawing is often an impulsive event. They might be inspired for ten minutes, then move on to the next adventure. We know that setting up and clearing away art supplies can be a chore for parents. The Any-way Drawing Pad can be lifted away as a single unit, and crayons can be tucked into the felt drawers below. Transforming the table from a studio back into a living room piece takes only a moment.

Accessories should always be more than an afterthought; they should add value to your daily life. The Drawing Pad provides the space for creativity to flourish without the usual clutter.
