Dual-Level Armed Chairs

Paperclip Armrest Eliminates the Need to Fight for Comfort

Whether it's in the theater or the train, many have fought for that center armrest leaving one with the utmost comfort and the other in bitter hatred; however, the Paperclip Armrest by James Lee is going to solve that problem.

Instead of threateningly eye-balling the person next to you, the Paperclip Armrest will make sure that the two of you gets that center armrest. It's a genius concept that integrates a dual-level design so that two people can share the comfort while sitting down. The armrest curves upward like a hook which allow one person to rest their arm in the top position, while the other on the nook at the bottom. The space could be a little tight, but it's still an idea that works.

The Paperclip Armrest recently won the Red Dot design concept.
