This seat, as the L seat module , are mobile and retractable, providing the ability to become a vehicle for 5 people or a van to transport goods.
In case we don´t need M seat, we can back to use only S seat module pressing a button, and it adapts to the front S seats module in just few seconds thanks to the rails situated on the floor .
M module will hide thanks to its retractable capacity. The coupling has a thickness of 5 cm outside S module.
