The Fotel chair by Hungarian designer Peter Vardai converts from a modern armchair to cool rocker. An ultra-sleek carbon fibre frame makes the design lightweight, strong and supper hip. It also allows for the piece to be used indoors or outside on the patio. The deep red banded seat looks extra comfortable for lounging or rocking.
I had to really look at the Fotel to figure it out, but I am pretty sure that to transform the chair the seat itself is lifted out and the frame is flipped. What a fabulous design, both functionally and aesthetically.
