The quirky chair is available in three styles: high back, stool and rocking chair. All three change in function and become something different-high back chairs transform into low chairs, stools become deep seated chairs and a rocking chair becomes a flat-based armchair. The fun, [convertible pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patan-chair) are constructed from lightweight urethane and come in a variety of bright candy colours. The Flip Chair’s versatile materiality makes it durable, light and easy to clean. Its brilliant and forward-thinking design makes it a diverse furniture piece sure to occupy a myriad of spaces in differing ways. Perfect for public lounge spaces or children’s communal areas, these light-weight chairs are visually dynamic as well as functional.
