Young Japanese designer Shizuka Tatsuno has designed an upholstered bench that can be converted into a chaise longue or an armchair and side table.
Designed for single-occupant living, Modular Bench can be reconfigured by moving upholstered elements that slot into holes in the base.
Tatsuno exhibited the bench at 100% Design Tokyo in November.

Products revealing quality from using over time
Modular Bench is a modular seating unit for a live-alone. The bench can be changed to an arm chair with a small table, and a couch by sticking the arms and back in different holes and transforming the cushion.
