Designed by Chishen Chiu, the FlexibleLove Virgin is actually a slim seat—at first glance, anyway. The FlexibleLove Virgin can actually accommodate more than you think, yet unlike a nervous virgin there is no need to romance it. When given a slight pull at each end, the seat can easily be transformed into a long bench that could actually seat 16 people.
This space-saving settee is also eco-friendly as well, as it is made of recycled paper, recycled wood waste and other recycled materials. Other than the odd name, the FlexibleLove Virgin is an awesome find.
