Familial is a wooden chair designed for use by both children and adults. A simple motion turns the chair over and converts it into a second configuration. One piece of furniture therefore serves two age groups, which saves space and reduces the amount of material required. The geometry and the angles of the chair were refined to keep the seat ergonomic and comfortable. Familial responds to the smaller living spaces of crowded cities, where multi-purpose furniture is useful. The design balances appearance and function.
