Square and Round is a multifunctional seat made of beech wood and acrylic. The transparent acrylic surface reveals the internal wooden structure. Placed one way, the surface forms a light seat. Turned upside down, the same surface becomes a side table with a recess that holds keys and other small objects. The parts are joined by a traditional double dovetail key structure, so no metal connectors are used. The seat can be taken apart by hand once the locking key is found. Flat packing reduces the transport volume.
