Keren Shiker recently designed a set of customizable block furniture as part of the Morpholio’s Inside 2015 competition. The 'Sink In' set consists of two [modular chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pla-modular-chair) that can be adjusted to any height or width.

The two chairs in the set consist of simple, yet stylish birch wood frames. On top of these frames sit a number of [adjustable foam bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blooming-furniture) that can be added or removed as necessary. The block furniture is completely customizable, making it possible to adjust the chair for maximum comfort. This makes it easy for the chair to be adjusted to the height and width of a child or an adult. When not in use, the chair can also function as a decorative sculptural piece in a room.

The innovative chairs are available to order from Shiker's online store.
