There will be no attempt at separating this siamese seating since the Chair + Chair = Bench has been created on purpose. The two conjoined chairs will just have to live in harmony for the rest of their existence. Considering how versatile they are together, they should have no problem with that. Whether placed upright like a quirky throne or sideways as a bench, it fulfills at least a couple of duties.
Designed by Jiwon Choi, a South Korean designer who is currently traveling around the world for commissioned work, the Chair + Chair = Bench may look quite simple aside from its strange tweak and basic materials, but it "is humorous in its strict form," as noted by the designer.
