Living in the city typically means living in limited spaces. With this multifunctional modern-style side table, studio apartments can benefit from a two-in-one table that springs into a chair at the push of a button. Spring's sleek design comprises a cylindrical shape that has the ability to increase and decrease in height, depending on its desired function. The innovative design serves as a [minimalistic side table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turno) at its lowest height of 500 mm and features a natural wood top. By pressing the table down, built-in compression springs transform the table into a comfortable chair with a backrest. Continuously pushing on the same area will morph the oak wood Spring chair to its maximum height of 900 mm.
