In need of a few extra chairs for your next book club meeting? Are you a bookstore looking for some extra seating for your events?
See those “books” on the shelf in the background? Thanks to designer Darris Hanroun those “books” transform into nifty little seats.
The impetus behind ‘Take A Seat’ is Hamroun’s belief “that objects have to adapt to humans and their habitat.”
The folding stool rests inside the covers of a book form. It is constructed of solid wood, connected with hinges and cloth. The book “cover” is made of foam covered in cloth and when opened becomes the seat.
Here’s a quick little video of the book seat in action:
