Stretching The Benchmarks

When I was first sent a link to www.Flexiblelove.com I was perhaps understandably a little dubious. But with a small amount of trepidation I was excited by the discovery of the ‘FlexibleLove 16’.

Featured at Taiwan’s ‘2006 Young Designer’s Exhibition’, this experimental piece of diversiform furniture the is truly accommodating. Designed by Chishen Chiu, it uses an accordion style design and can expand from 22cm to a whopping 720cm seating up to 16 people and supporting a hefty 1920kgs. It is also environmentally accommodating – constructed entirely from recycled paper and wood, and produced with minimum ecological impact. See it in action here.
