FlexibleLove Virgin

20100218801

Incorporating an ‘accordion-like, honeycomb’ structure, the FlexibleLove Virgin by Chishen Chiu could accommodate a seating for 8 to 16 people at one time. The product line now consists of two different kinds of FlexibleLove, the Earth 8 and the Earth 16. Both of them are made of recycled materials like the recycled paper, recycled wood waste, etc. When given a simple pull at each end, the furniture could be easily transformed into a semicircular or a circular-shaped seating to hold as many as 16 people.

Two-in-one Furniture

20100106501

In order to let people live more and more comfortable, both the designers and manufactures are making an effort to create bigger beds, desks, shelves, chairs and so on. Yes, everything we’re using today is much bigger than before, but pity that the house we’re living in is not that big to contain so many large pieces of furniture. So what about the two-in-one furniture? It is a table, but also doubles a bed when unfolded onto the floor. As a result, you’re still enjoying the comfortable life those large beds and tables bring to you, but no longer have to be upset about the crowded space. Sounds great, right?
