Discover 2 award-winning designs tagged Transformative Chair on About Design Magazine.
Following flowing shapes inspired by natural landscape, the transformative and environmentally friendly chair gives the feeling of being embraced by nature. Easy to switch between chair and armchair, it describes cycles of exchange with nature aspiring to connect people to their environment. Capturing the notion of time passing it generates a discussion among human-made and nature which signifies their coexistence, forging the link with the world surrounding us.
Having as a principle the material restraint and purity of form, the design quality is based on geometric folds and lines which result in an interconnection of different parts that all service the function. The design allows the chair to migrate between different settings and respond to moods and needs of the user, since it can be transformed just by flipping it. Nothing is without a purpose and the separate elements collaborate to create a lightweight yet extremely rigid structure.
