British custom furniture maker David Fletcher makes capstan tables -- tables that expand and contract radially. They're handy in confined spaces, such as yachts. When the transformation is complete, the surfaces look quite seamless.

The website states that the price is in the "tens of thousands of pounds" each. These are absolutely beautiful and an engineering wonder.
