Extendable Benches

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Klabenkkk Expands to Seat 9

— April 30, 2008 — Art & Design
Klabenkkk looks like your typical bench next to the wall, but the minimalist piece has the potential to step up its game when needed. Klabenkkk can extend to easily accommodate nine.

Klabenkkk is made from birch plywood and has measurements of 120 cm length x 45 cm height x 40 cm width. Designer Lady Penelope named the bench after the sound it makes when folded in: KLABENKKKKKKK.

Lady Penelope visualizes the following story, "And that's enough for one day, she reckons. Tired but satisfied, she sits down. KLABENK stretches, just in time to catch her tired feet. Today was a good day. Time for champagne!"
