The 'Four Quarters' furniture concept has been designed by Maria Dlugoborskaya as a multifunctional solution for the home that will offer a shapeshifting aesthetic to maximize capabilities.
The unit consists of four armchairs that, when positioned on their side, link together to form a coffee table that can be used on a daily basis for placing drinks, decor or other household items. The chairs can be separated from one another when more seating is required to ensure hosts can always accommodate guests who stop by for dinner or drinks.
The 'Four Quarters' furniture concept addresses the increased demand for multifunctional home decor items as consumers shift into smaller living spaces. The furniture design is the winner of the 2019 A’ Design Award.
