Benchair

Design Special of the iF Online Exhibition, iF Concept Design Award 2009

The concept of Benchair comes from Sharing. You can give another one a seat from the chair you are sitting on. Both one person and two people can enjoy Benchair! Benchair has two forms, chair and bench, with a bi-pivot design which helps you easily turn a chair into a bench or a bench into a chair.

Benchair can play a special role in pubic places such as book stores and parks. As you prefer sitting alone, you can use the chair form. When you want to show your kindness, you can also transform the chair into a bench to share a seat with people. Benchair is like a bridge to connect two people who don'’t know each other.
