Morphing Chairs

The Mosaic Folding Chair Doubles as a Stylish Room Divider

— February 10, 2009 — Art & Design
The Mosaic Folding Chair looks like an elegant version of a garden deck chair but is much more than that. When not being used as chairs, they can be folded away and set side by side to make a good looking room divider.

The aluminum frames make the chairs lightweight, while the seats are composed of mosaic tiles embedded in silicon.

Ideal for apartments with limited space, but also perfect for those who like the minimalist look and can remove the clutter of chairs when they are not in use.
