This paper elaborates on the layout and construction of an attached wall- mounted conference table specifically intended for compact spaces such as
libraries and Learning Resource Centers. The central worktable seamlessly integrates into the wall, resulting in an improved floor area that looks like nothing happened. Shelves extend up to the tabletop on all sides. The same wall-mounted structure was used to fit all these additional components close to one another. During the design process, the user’s comfort and existing space were given in design consideration. The mechanism of the table ensures endurance and smooth operation. The wall-mounted conference table is composed of durable, convenient, and aesthetically pleasing materials that create a balance between design and construction. Testing and prototyping were used and later, it successfully managed the space without compromising comfort or accessibility.
There were fifty (50) respondents consisting of twenty-five (25) professionals, fifteen (15) CAFA students, and ten (10) CAFA faculty members who evaluated the prototype. Overall, the findings showed a result of 3.93 for functionality, 3.92 for workability, 3.85 for durability, 4.30 for aesthetics and appearance, and 4.04 for Safety with a total average of 4.01, with a descriptive mean of "Highly Acceptable." This response emphasizes how the concept is a viable solution to the increasing need for space efficiency in interior design and furniture engineering.
