Zusammenfassung:A vehicle interior assembly includes a foldable layer that is convertible between an unfolded condition, in which it provides the working surface of a tabletop, and a folded condition, in which it supports one or more portable electronic devices in a tilted position. When deployed as part of a device holder, the foldable layer uncovers a portion of a base layer that includes edge supports for the mobile device(s). A plurality of polygonal segments interconnected by a corresponding plurality of hinge joints permits the foldable layer to change from a flat sheet to a hollow, self-supporting three-dimensional structure with a clean angular appearance in an origami-like manner that does not require complex linkages or mechanisms for the conversion.
