Extendable armchair design by Chishen Chiu Flexible Love circa 2000

Rare extendable armchair design by chishen chiu flexible love circa 2000. Designed by taiwanese artist designer chishen chiu, this eye-catching sofa is made of recycled paper and wood. Entitled "flexiblelove", this eco-friendly sofa is an adaptable work of art, which can be transformed into a 2-3 seater bench or reduced to an armchair. Thanks to the perforated cardboard structure, the sofa retains an optimal shape. This strong curiosity, as early as 2005, led chishen chiu to create the first flexiblelove chair. Why not use paper to make furniture He and his team wondered, fascinated by the beauty, flexibility and incredible durability of the paper's honeycomb structure. Why not use recycled cardboard paper and recycled wood fibres This allowed them to create three versions of this foldable accordion chair: earth, the very first original version, marble, which attracts all eyes with its white beauty, and sandstone, which is a limited edition for an unlimited number of seats. The model i'm selling on this ad is the "earth" version: the first original, rarest and most sought-after version that will undoubtedly become a global design icon. Taiwanese designer chishen chiu motivated his design choice with the following words: "the name 'flexiblelove' is derived from the concept of the 'flexible love seat' – a seat that can accommodate from one to 3 people, whose length and shape can be changed by a simple pull at each end. A honeycomb structure, used throughout the flexiblelove range, produces an accordion result that allows each piece to be extended and folded with ease. " here are the dimensions: folded: 64cm X 56cm X 19.7cm extent: 64cm X 56cm X extendable about 300 cm weight: 25 kgs. Vintage object with some traces of uses in good condition.
