Sarah Coffin, head of product design and decorative arts at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York told the Los Angeles Times that the origin of the lazy susan turntable is “a great mystery.” The Lazy Susan Revolution makes dinner time is so much fun! The kids love it! And so do the adults. Everyone can serve themselves and enjoy without bothering anyone at the other side of the table. Pass the potatoes” is easier said than done when five of your nearest and dearest relatives are sandwiched between you and your potato-loving great aunt at a family gathering. Many can relate to and picture what happens next: a plate wobbling on its way from one end of the table to another, olive oil dripping to the tablecloth as the plate clumsily exchanges hands, and family members pretending not to be annoyed that they have to put down forkfuls of turkey to deliver the goods to Aunt Ida. Today, this turntable has multiple uses , far beyond its early purpose as a servant replacement. It is the new centerpiece of the modern dining table—as functional as ever but having undergone a high-end makeover that has designers and homeowners, and those that gather around their tables, clamoring to take them for a spin.

Many people claim that Thomas Jefferson invented it (or at least popularized it in America). He brought the concept of the “dumb waiter” to Monticello following a trip to France. Jefferson’s dumb (or silent) waiters were serving trays with wheels. A guest who dined at the President’s house recalled, “By each individual was placed a dumbwaiter, containing everything necessary for the progress of dinner from beginning to end.” Today, some call the lazy susan a dumbwaiter (especially in Britain). It serves many of the same purposes and is a spin-off of this functional piece of furniture. Others attributed the name to another Thomas: Edison. After all, he was the mastermind behind the phonograph, introduced in 1877, and its spinning turntable. Part of the mystery arises from the variety of devices that were grouped under the term "dumb waiter" (today written dumbwaiter). An early 18th-century British article in The Gentleman's Magazine describes how silent machines had replaced garrulous servants at some tables [7] and, by the 1750s, Christopher Smart was praising the "foreign" but discreet devices in verse. [8] It is, however, almost certain that the devices under discussion were wheeled serving trays similar to those introduced by Thomas Jefferson to the United States from France, [9] where they were known as étagères. [9] At some point during or before the third quarter of the 18th century, the name dumb waiter also began to be applied to rotating trays. [2] (Jefferson never had a lazy Susan at Monticello, but he did construct a box-shaped rotating book stand and, as part of serving "in the French style", employed a revolving dining-room door whose reverse side supported a number of shelves. [10]). By the 1840s, Americans were applying the term to small lifts carrying food between floors as well. [2] The success of George W. Cannon's 1887 mechanical dumbwaiter popularised this usage, replacing the previous meanings of "dumbwaiter".
