Shapeshifting Cork Furniture

The 'Tumble' Furniture Piece Changes into an Array of Solutions

— October 13, 2020 — Art & Design
The 'Tumble' furniture piece is an ultra-efficient solution for the home or office that would enable users to change up the functionality of the unit to suit their specific needs. The chair is characterized by its cork construction that is durable yet eco-friendly and features sculpted components connected strategically to allow the modules to be moved. This means that the chair can be easily transitioned from a seating solution into a lounger or even a table to make it perfect for use at anytime of day.

The 'Tumble' furniture piece is the design work of José Manuel Carvalho Araújo and comes in two size options including the Tumble 300 and the Tumble 600, which weigh in at 16.5kg and 33kg, respectively.
