The 'Optimus' furniture has been designed by Thomas Abraham as part of The Transformer Collection and is crafted out of a single piece of wood that will shift into a range of different orientations.
The furniture piece is capable of being modified to suit the needs of a person or their style preferences, and can function as a table, chair, bookshelf, bench and more. This is thanks to the angular accents that the furniture design prioritizes.
The 'Optimus' furniture is crafted out of Sheesham wood that's renewable for a more eco-friendly profile for consumers to appreciate. The furniture design addresses increasing consumer demand for decor items that prioritize customization and a modular form to keep pieces relevant for a longer period or with different spaces.
