No-To-Scale imagines Trump's wall as a 1,954-mile-long dinner table
Malaysian design office No-To-Scale Studio has issued a satirical proposal to President Trump, suggesting a radical means of representing the US-Mexico border: a 1,954 mile-long dining table.
Citing "logistical, financial and nationality" limitations, the studio's design claims to be cost-effective in taking a domestic item and scaling it to massive proportions.
While the proposed slab of "continuous polished marble" may prove costly, diners will bring their own chairs in order to participate.
One visual depicts a sole diner seated at the table, while a group backpacks through the arid desert landscape under the watchful eye of a US Border Patrol agent.

The US Department of Homeland Security issued a notice on 6 March 2017 detailing its requirements for the proposed wall, calling for 30-foot-tall concrete barriers.
Plenty of satirical responses from designers had emerged before this, all aiming to highlight the threat Trump's administration poses to US immigration. IKEA released a spoof for a flat-pack kit, while Mexican firm Legorreta proposed a terminal and bridge.
