Flip Seat
Flip Seat is an example of a Portmanteau, a combination of 2 distinct design objects, a chaise lounge and a table. The design is sleek, minimalistic, and functional, with clean lines and an emphasis on form following function. The chaise lounge and table are designed as one sculptural form, with the tabletop's straight edge contrasting the curves of the lounge.
Designed for compact outdoor spaces, this piece maximizes utility without compromising style. Its flexible structure allows for easy rearrangement to suit individual or shared usage. Its multi-purpose nature makes it a fitting addition to any backyard, enhancing aesthetic appeal and usability.
My design
Here is a short video of my thought process behind the design for Flip Seat. This video was filmed for the Tulane School of Architecture & Built Environment to share on their social media platforms. In the video, I go through some of the project limitations and what was my proposed purpose for my portmanteau.
