Space-Saving Table Seats

The One-Quarter Table + Chairs Eliminate the Need for Tables

— May 27, 2013 — Art & Design
Architect group Jaklitsch / Gardener created the One-Quarter Table + Chairs to conveniently combine a table and chair into one functional piece of furniture.

An intelligent idea for parks, backyards and even offices, the One-Quarter Table + Chairs seem like a standard chair; the innovation lies in the horizontal wood panel that extends off of the back of the chair. When two or more One-Quarter Table + Chairs are put together back to back, the wooden extensions join up to create a rectangle, square, big or small tables. Made entirely out of locust wood and reused plastic, these table-chairs are strong, sturdy and environmentally friendly.

Another neat feature to the One-Quarter Table + Chairs is the circular cut out in the extended table surface that perfectly fits a cup of coffee. Joined together or alone, the One-Quarter Table + Chairs are space-saving, chic and aesthetically beautiful.
