Design Flexibility

There is good design and there is smart design. When a visually pleasing and well-constructed piece of furniture can offer the user a variety of options and flexibility, the conceptual element of the work takes it to a higher level of design. With the flood of new products that continuously inundate the design market, the following three designers are using flexibility and ingenuity to float above the product deluge.

The SwiTCh Table-Chair by Belgian designer Ellen Ectors can be used as both a casual armchair and as compact desk and chair combination.

Available in: Apple Green, Marine Blue, Café or Espresso Brown and Polar (Cream).
