Toronto-based designer Davide Tonizzo has designed an awesome transforming seat called Gig, a piece perfect for a contemporary home.
Gig is a multi-use sofa by Davide Tonizzo that's actually fairly compact compared to most transforming furniture pieces. The sofa can be maneuvered into four different seats: a chair and ottoman, two ottomans, a chaise and a full bed. Gig is set to make its debut at the IDS11 in Toronto this month.
