The Origami Bench by blackLAB architects inc. is a flexible piece of furniture that is the perfect example of thinking outside of the box. It incorporates movable panels that can be readjusted depending on how the Origami Bench is being used. Whether completely flattened to accommodate more bodies or manipulated into having a seamless side table, the Origami Bench is chic and customizable.
Made out of baltic birch plywood that has been covered in white laminate, the Origami Bench rests on tubular steel legs that mimic the geometric form of the panels. Everything about the design reiterates the name of the furniture piece. Contemporary and stylish, the Origami Bench is especially great for open office environments.
