By slicing a rectangle into two pieces, Kitmen Keung creates a suite of space-saving, versatile furnishings.
Oftentimes, the cleverest ideas are also the simplest. Take this furniture system by the Chinese-Canadian designer Kitmen Keung: a rectangular foam block that’s been cut at two L-shaped angles, resulting in a couple of pieces that can be arranged as a one-seat and ottoman, a chaise lounge, or a corner table.
Appropriately called Dual Cut, the design shows that one doesn’t have
to sacrifice minimalism for multifunctionality. Depending on its
orientation, the chair even gives the option of a 6-degree or 23-degree
angled backrest. When seating isn’t needed, the pieces may be restacked
(without having to twiddle with folding mechanisms) and stashed away or
displayed as a table.
