About Square and Round Multifunkcionalno sjedalo

Square and Round je multifunkcionalno sjedalo izrađeno od bukovine i akrila. Prozirna akrilna površina otkriva unutarnju drvenu strukturu. Postavljena na jedan način, površina tvori lagano sjedalo. Okrenuta naopako, ista površina postaje pomoćni stolić s udubljenjem u koje se mogu odložiti ključevi i drugi sitni predmeti. Dijelovi su spojeni tradicionalnom strukturom s dvostrukim spojem u obliku lastina repa, tako da se ne koriste metalni spojni elementi. Sjedalo se može rastaviti rukom nakon što se pronađe ključ za zaključavanje. Ravno pakiranje smanjuje volumen prilikom transporta.
