‘triplette chair’ by paul menand – from one to three chairs

a friend arrives at your apartment, stand up and give him a chair from under you. friend number two is on the way, repeat the drill.

french designer paul menand has re-imagined the concept of the stacking chair with ‘triplette’. as a means of trying to find an alternative solution to space saving chairs, menand has designed a seat which multiplies from one to three if needed. the 3-in-1 design allows you to nestle each of the seats into one another in a seamless way, making them suitable for sitting either when they are placed all together, or separated into the additional one or two chair options.
