flexible love
This amazing "flexible love" fold chair can be stretched out to seat as many as sixteen individuals; once compacted, the chair seats one. It was designed by Chishen Chiu who stumbled one day upon pa small factory producing ‘honeycombed’ sheets of recycled paper in suburban Taipei one day.
Intrigued by the use of the honeycomb structure to create cardboard palettes that were being used to replace traditional wooden palettes, he believed the material could be applied to create any rigid structure. Flexible love is an accordion structure-type furniture, is not only eco-friendly, it will save your aching back from lugging those chairs up from the basement every time you have a party. Within days, the idea for Flexible Love had been sketched out and turned into a working model.
