If you're a habitual AT reader you probably know that we have a thing for multi-functional furniture. But Piero Lissoni's Trix for Kartell exceeds our usual standard, which requires that a piece be smart-looking and have a least two uses up its sleeve.
Trix is the next generation Bingo Pouf. With just a few well-turned upgrades Lissoni elevated that cool idea to multi-functional furniture stardom. Wrapped in a luxe technical fabric and linked by a unique rotating rubber band system, these three expanded polyurethane cushions can be reconfigured from an ottoman into three other shapes. That's a total of four functions. (Four!)
Priced to match its utility: $1,174, here.

This looks like a slightly higher-tech flip-n-fu...umn, fool around, to my uncultured eye.

I saw these at the Kartell store in WeHo last week. Really like them, but the cost is a bit prohibitive.
I wonder how much it would cost to make these on your own? Use black bungee cords for the rubberbands, and get your foam and upholstery fabric cut to size.

Right on, sunspot. I've been wondering where to get foam. An old roomie got simple large rectangles of foam cut for guest to sleep on (very comfortable, actually), but he got them in Canada. Is there anywhere in the States where this kind of thing can be ordered?
