Modern Furniture: Coffee Bench

Space saving design and multi-functional products are two areas of interior design that fascinate me.

The Coffee Bench caught my eye as it is a piece of modern furniture that combines these two elements. Designed by Karolina Tylka of the Polish design studio BEYOND, the Coffee Bench is a simple but clever concept. It functions as both a bench and table; adjusted and transformed by rotating the elements of the bench.

The idea is about supporting smart use of space. And the inspiration came from wanting to sit and drink a coffee in the garden but having no space to put the cup or a newspaper.   Although it was originally conceived as piece of garden furniture, there is great scope for it to be used in public spaces such as parks, squares, halls and lobbies.

Modern, multi functional design and smart use of space indeed.
