A chair that morphs into a table reminds us that chair-ness is a very natural extenion of table-ness. What a great idea for space-saving, multi-tasking furniture. We can't believe we haven't already come across it.

San Luis Obispo wood artisan Laura Rittenhouse has realized the Platonic chair/table combo in a high swanky style. Her Chair/Table is made from macore and includes storage space. The chair back and seat slide easily into tabletop mode, and the slats double up to lend the whole thing solidity.
