Design diversity and the nature of connection. The success of a particular chair has depended on the quality and connections it makes. A chair usually make physical and psychological connections with individual through its form and materials. It also connect visually and functional with the context where it is to be used.

Inspiration
Concept:Convenience + Comfort + Sophistication
Inspiration for the 2 in 1 chair comes from the needs of daily life. A place to sit and storage options are typically two separate pieces. When it’s time to read - the book is on the shelf, when you need to charge your tablet, the outlet is too far away. The list goes on..the 2 in 1 chair attempts to make life easier and more comfortable.

The project started in December 2018 in Chicago.

Storage and power options are close at hand and the surface provides flexibility for the task at hand. The 2 in 1 armchair can be served with the wide storage to the left or to the right. Power ports, available in standard outlets or in combination with USB, provide easy access for charging technology tools.
