The dual objectives of aesthetics (beauty) and performance (function) were served by creating a novel design that balances between the two.

Project Duration: The project was began and completed in April 2022 in Tehran, Iran.
Operation Flow: If the chair’s configuration needs to be changed, all that is needed is a simple motion to turn over and convert the chair. The users of the chair will appreciate its user friendliness and its ease of use.
