OruBench

In the quest for more design-led, adaptable furniture solutions, the OruBench is a grid-like seat made up of one bench and three stools seamlessly integrating to form a single unit. The stools remain hidden until they are removed, increasing the seating capacity to accommodate up to six people. With its unexpected functionality, the OruBench addresses the challenges of everyday life with a playful perspective. Users can take apart and reconnect the stools with ease, resulting in a transformation that not only changes its silhouette but also reveals new patterns on the seats – another unexpected joyful element. Through moments of discovery, the designer allows users to feel a sense of contentment while subsequently providing solutions to everyday problems.
