A multi-functional chair that is personal, understandable, and unrestrictive for small spaces to grow relationships and function individually. By targeting young adults between the ages of 20-35 who enjoy reduced and minimal living spaces, our chair accommodates our core desired principles of “less is more” and “a house is a machine for living”.

Its ability to shift, reshape, and transform into multi-purpose functions through compartmentalization invites users to interact, repurpose, transport, and find comfort in the chair. The chair can be reassembled, from multiple expensive or inexpensive materials, in a simplified way. Natural forms, as Le Corbusier incorporated into his designs, will elevate the relationship between life, nature, and the user. The meticulous craft of the chair will acquire order and structure, coinciding with Jan Tschichold’s foundational proportions, human ratios, and pressure points, emphasizing the Golden Ratio.

A harmony of natural, raw, sustainable, and long-lasting materials will balance the cohesiveness of sharp and soft design. A chair for temporary smaller spaces naturally causes the desire for movement and shifting, which is beneficial for users to change posture and seating positions.
