Carpet Tile Chairs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Foldable Seats by Sam Linders Move From Carpet to Armchair

— October 22, 2015 — Art & Design
Sam Linders has created a uniquely versatile furniture piece that can transition from a carpet tile into a foldable seat in three quick and easy maneuvers. This is ideal for homeowners, schools or offices tight on space or looking for furniture that doubles up in uses.

The 'Wobble-Up' is a stylish set of patterned square tiles that come in either white or colorful designs that create a mosaic look. The tiles vary in patterns from arrows to squares offering a minimalistic and modern aesthetic. The squares hook up together to form a comfortable carpet grid for sitting and lounging. In several easy moves the tiles can be dismantled and two can be attached to one to form a seat with a curved back, known as a 'Wobbling Chair' that is ideal for sitting on the ground.
