valencia-based design studio mr. simon has developed 'cóm-oda' and 'deparquet', both shown at valencia design week 2011.
although folding chairs are usually tucked away in the corners of a room, the 'cóm-oda' design allows them to stand alone,
creating a second furniture unit - a wooden console - offering a new function to the seating objects when they are not in use.

'deparquet' coat hook


'deparquet' is an extension of parquet floors, continuing vertically up one's wall to form coat hooks.
the proposal takes a staple of many houses and transforms its purpose from floor to furniture piece.
a slight bend in its conventional shape changes its potential use while the visual interest comes from altering
the usual surface where the material is installed.
