Transformer Furniture: Materassi by Matteo Thun
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 02.15.07
Matteo Thun was a co-founder of the Memphis Group with Ettore Sottsass and has designed for Alessi and Tiffany. He has also come up with this brilliant idea: a bench with a grid of sockets so that arm rests and backs can be inserted wherever you want, turning it from a bed to a conventional sofa or even a chaise longue.
" A set of furniture which places flexibility first. An innovative, patented, plug-in system for arm-rests and back-rests allows for individual design requirements. The diversity of possible combinations and coverings gives Materassi a completely personal touch.":Wittman via ::Trendir
Well this is great, truly....but how much can we buy it for? I tried both the links, but could not find a section for purchasing.
